Ingredients
  

For the brine

  • 1 gallon water
  • 1 cup Kosher salt reduce this if brining more than 4 hours
  • 1 cup sugar reduce this if brining more than 4 hours
  • 4 lbs Boneless pork ribs

For the ribs

  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp chipotle powder cut in half if you don't like it too HOT
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

For the brine

  • Add the water, salt and sugar to a large bowl and stir until the salt and sugar are disolved
  • Add the ribs to the water mixture
  • If you have something you can set on top of the pork to make sure it all stays under the brine, that is a good idea
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate
  • The rule of thumb for brining is one hour for each lb of meat, if you need to leave the meat in the brine longer, cut back on the salt and sugar. I often cut it in half and sometimes have even left it overnight.

For the ribs

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F
  • Mix all of the dry seasonings for the ribs in a small bowl
  • Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry with a paper towel
  • Add the ribs to a casserole dish and rub the seasoning mixture on all sides of each piece
  • Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for approximately 2 hours checking the temperature frequently after the first hour
  • When the temperature reaches 165 or 170 or so, remove from the oven
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and transfer the ribs to the baking sheet
  • Baste the ribs with the BBQ sauce and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes or so until the BBQ sauce is cooked and has a slight crust to it making sure the ribs reach at least 180 degrees but no more than 195 degrees
  • Remove from the oven and serve with more BBQ sauce
