BBQ weather has arrived, and ribs are my all-time favorite BBQ fare. This recipe is found in a BBQ cookbook called America’s Best BBQ. Slaughterhouse five ribs is a recipe feature from Oklahoma Joe’s Barbecue and Catering in Kansas City, featured in the book described above. It’s a basic rub but has the best flavor I’ve tried so far.

Ingredients:

• 2 TBS white cane sugar
• 1 TBS light brown sugar
• 2 TBS Hungarian paprika
• 2 TBS Lawry’s seasoned salt
• 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp finely ground black pepper
• 2 slabs spareribs

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Remove the membrane from the ribs, and season the slabs all over with the rub. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Cook the ribs using the indirect method. They are done when you can easily tear or pull the ribs apart.
