Prepare the ribs. Line a baking sheet with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to encase your ribs. Coat the ribs with the prepared rub on both sides, ending with the fattier side of the ribs facing up.

Tightly fold the aluminum foil around the ribs. Bake the ribs for about 2½-3 hours until the ribs start to become tender.

Remove the ribs from the oven and turn the oven to broil. Baste the ribs with the barbecue sauce and broil until the edges start to caramelize, about 2-3 minutes.
