Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 4 baby back rib racks
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• 4 bay leaves
• 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• heavy duty aluminum foil

Recipe

• 1 remove membrane from back of ribs. this is a must! if you don't remove the membrane, don't bother making the recipe.
• 2 apply rub to both sides of the ribs. the measurements given in the ingredient list are approximate -- go with amounts you prefer and add/remove any rub ingredients to fit your taste.
• 3 lay a bay leaf on top of each rack of ribs. wrap the ribs in aluminum foil -- wrap them very well, either all in one big piece of aluminum foil, or individually wrapped.
• 4 put in a large roasting pan. you can put them directly on the oven rack, but i use a roasting pan in case juices escape.
• 5 bake at 200f for 6-8 hours (i prefer about 7-8 hours).
• 6 remove ribs from oven and unwrap.
• 7 generously apply hot sauce to ribs. brush on barbecue sauce, then grill until nicely browned.
