I like to dry rub the ribs with a mixture of garlic powder, chili powder, paprika,cayenne pepper, onion powder, black pepper and brown sugar, wrap in plastic wrap overnite and brown on the grill to give it some color and then transfer to the oven at 250 degrees til they fall apart.
My husband scores his ribs on both sides, coats with his favorite dry rub mix (a mix of his favorite seasonings) then bakes the ribs in a pan with a bit of water and liquid smoke in the oven at 250 degrees for 4-5 hours.
When they're done, he moves them to a grill, coats the ribs with his favorite bbq sauce, grills until the sauce caramelizes, then they're ready to eat.
They are guaranteed FALL OFF THE BONE!
