Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a large baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat.

Wrap the ribs tightly in foil, seam side up, and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.

Carefully open the foil and drain any excess liquid; brush a thick layer of BBQ sauce over the top of the ribs.

Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing between the bones to serve.
