Part 2/6:
1 teaspoon of black pepper
⅛ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
¾ cup of light brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup of honey
Preparation Steps
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 250°F (120°C). Setting the oven to low allows the ribs to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in tender meat.
2. Prepare Your Baking Sheet
Use a large baking sheet with high walls to contain any drippings. If you don't have one, line a regular half-sheet with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.
3. Prepare the Ribs
Before applying the rub, ensure the ribs are patted dry. If they come packaged in a cryovac, remove the membrane from the back side, which can help in seasoning penetration and improve texture.
