Who Loves Ya Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 whole slabs pork baby back ribs
• DRY RUB:
• 8 tablespoons light brown sugar, tightly packed
• 3 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon jalapeno seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon rubbed thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• BRAISING LIQUID:
• 1 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 250º.
2. In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Place each slab of baby back ribs on a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil, shiny side down. Sprinkle each side generously with the dry rub. Pat the dry rub into the meat. Refrigerate the ribs for a minimum of 1 hour.
3. In a microwaveable container, combine all the ingredients for the braising liquid. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
4. Place the ribs on a baking sheet. Open one end of the foil on each slab and pour half of the braisng liquid into each foil packet. Tilt the baking sheet in order to equally distribute the braising liquid. Braise the ribs in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.
5. Transfer the braising liquid into a medium saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer and reduce by half or until it is a thick syrup consistency. Brush the glaze onto the ribs. Place under the broiler just until the glaze caramelizes lightly.
6. Slice each slab into 2 rib bone portions. Place the remaining hot glaze into a bowl and toss the rib portions in the glaze.
