3 lbs. baby-back ribs (2 slabs)
Dry rub:
1 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 Tbsp paprika
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
Braising liquid:
1 cup white wine
2 Tbsp vinegar
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp of barbecue sauce
2 cloves of garlic
Rinse the ribs and pat dry. Remove the thin white/silver membrane on the back side of the ribs. Thoroughly cover the ribs with the dry rub. Seal each slab in a pocket of heavy-duty aluminum foil, place in a roasting pan, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Open up one end of each foil package and pour half of the braising liquid into each one. Reseal each package and tilt the roasting pan to evenly distribute liquid throughout the foil packets. Place in a 250° oven and cook for 2.5 hours.
Remove the ribs from their foil packaging. Brush both sides with reduced braising liquid or barbecue sauce (recommend Sticky Fingers “Memphis Original” brand). Place under a broiler, meat side up, for 5-10 minutes until desired carmelization.
