Southern-Style Dry Rub Spare Ribs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your smoker or oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit (107 degrees Celsius).

2. 2

   Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if it is still attached.

3. 3

   In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, black pepper, white pepper, and salt to create the dry rub.

4. 4

   Apply the dry rub generously on both sides of the pork spare ribs, making sure to cover all surfaces.

5. 5

   Place the ribs on the smoker or in the oven. If using an oven, place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or a wire rack.

6. 6

   Cook the ribs for about 4-5 hours or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.

7. 7

   Check the ribs periodically, and if they start to look too dry, you can spritz them with a little apple cider vinegar or water to keep them moist.

8. 8

   Once the ribs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the smoker or oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes before cutting into individual servings.

9. 9

   Serve the ribs with your choice of sides and enjoy the Southern-style flavor.
