    2. Place each rack of ribs on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Season each side generously with the spice mixture. Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and place on a baking sheet.

  6. 6

    3. Bake at 500 F for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 250 F. Bake for 2½ hours, until tender. Unwrap ribs and baste with a few tablespoons of barbecue sauce.

    4. Grill or broil ribs a few minutes on each side until browned and crispy. Cut ribs and toss with additional sauce in a bowl.
