Ribs a'la J. Dogg!

The Rub:
4 tblsp brown sugar
2 tblsp kosher salt
1 tblsp Paparika
1/2 tsp. cayenne Pepper
1 tsp granulated garlic powder
1-1/2 tsp granulated onion powder
1 tsp course ground black pepper

and

3/4 to 1 cup apple cider

2 racks of ribs (Baby back)

Start Cookin':

Mix the rub ingredients well in a bowl then get some heavy duty wide tin foil and put it over a cookie sheet ( preferably with sides ) leaving about 4 inches of overhang on each end.

Take ribs and rinse under cold water. Pat dry and peel membrane off back. I use a paper towel to grasp it. This helps holding the membrane with your fingers.

Sprinkle a good amount of rub all over ribs and rub it into the meat I usually do both sides and don't have any rub left when I get finished. Let stand for about 20 minutes.

Pour the apple cider into the bottom of the foil (not on ribs) and then place the ribs in the foil/cider. Take another piece of foil and place it on top and crimp around all the sides making a pouch.

Place it in a 275 degree oven for about 3 to 3-1/2 hrs. for 2 racks.

Peel off the top foil and pour out the juices. Brush the ribs generously with your favorite J. Dogg Phair Presents BBQ Sauce. Place the ribs under broiler using bottom rack.

Cook about 5 to 10 minutes with door ajar till it gets real gooey and sticky. You can sauce them again if you like or heat up some sauce in a pan and serve it on the side.

Now you're eating with the Big Dogg!
