- Cook at 350°F for 20 minutes.
- Baste all sides of the ribs with BBQ sauce.

Notes
- If a full rack of ribs is too many for you, add the rub to the ribs then freeze half. When you’re ready to cook them, defrost in the refrigerator and cook as directed when they’re defrosted.
- The cayenne pepper makes the ribs slightly spicy. If you don’t like any spice, omit the cayenne.
