Oven Spare Ribs

Note: use spare ribs not baby back ribs since baby back ribs don't have enough fat and will dry out.

2.5-3.5 lb rack of pork spare ribs
dry rub spices (I use a mixture of Penzey's Northwoods spice blend and Montreal steak seasoning)
1.75 c BBQ sauce

Let ribs rest at room temp for an hour. Preheat oven to 300 F. I rinse and then dry the meat with a paper towel. Rub dry spices on. Place ribs on a roasting rack, cover rack with foil, and put in the center of the oven (I use one that we also use for turkeys). Cook for 1 hour. Remove foil. Cook another hour. Baste with 0.75 c of BBQ sauce. Cook for another 1.5 hours. Baste with more BBQ sauce, and let rest in tin foil for at least 45 minutes. Serve with more BBQ sauce if desired.
