Finger Lickin' Good

Jim found a good recipe for a dry rub for our ribs a couple of years ago and we have been using it ever since. It adds an excellent flavor with a hint of heat. For our last round of ribs we used spare ribs instead of baby back ribs. They were tasty with a lot of meat but we need to research on how to cut it. :) We totally butchered it, but it tasted fantastic so we didn't care what it looked like :)

Dry Rub

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup paprika

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon chili powder

3/4 tablespoon garlic powder

3/4 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cayenne

Mix together, and rub onto the meat. Let it sit for a couple of hours and then cook! We wrap tin foil around the meat and put it on the grill for about an hour (or until the meat starts to pull away from the bone). Then take it off of the heat and let it sit for about 20 minutes,,, then enjoy!

Okay, this has been posted for a couple days before I realized it looks like our ribs are black. They are a little dark, but they are not burned. I think our spices make the ribs look dark, because these were sooooo nice and juicy!
