Ingredients
- 1 rack baby back ribs
-
4-5 tablespoons Made by Madi seasoning blend of choice
- Sweet Mesquite
- Smoked Brown Sugar
- Salt & Char
- ½ cup favorite BBQ sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Season the Ribs
Pat the ribs dry and generously season all sides with your Made by Madi seasoning blend of choice.
Step 2: Bake Until Tender
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 300°F for about 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Step 3: Finish with BBQ Sauce
Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and brush generously with your favorite BBQ sauce.
For the best flavor, place the ribs on a preheated grill over medium heat for 5–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sauce is caramelized and slightly charred.
No grill? No problem. Place the sauced ribs under a low broiler for 3–5 minutes, or until the edges begin to caramelize and crisp up. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 4: Serve
Let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Pair with potato salad, grilled corn, baked beans, or your favorite summer sides.
Flavor Variations

Simple ingredients. Big flavor. Summer cooking doesn’t get much easier than that.
