Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine all dry rub ingredients: light brown sugar, granulated sugar, onion powder, kosher salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, ground mustard, cumin, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg.
Remove the membrane from the ribs for better tenderness.
Lay a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil over a baking sheet and place the ribs meaty-side down.
Generously apply one-third of the dry rub on the bones; flip and apply the remaining rub on top.
Seal the foil tightly around the ribs and bake for about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
After baking, increase oven temperature to broil. Mix barbecue sauce with light brown sugar and coat the ribs evenly.
Broil for about 2–3 minutes until caramelized; let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
