  1. Cover ribs in yellow mustard first.
  2. Mix half of the brown sugar, BBQ Rub of choice, Boochie’s Best, and worschestire sauce and pack it on ribs. Then marinate in fridge for 2 hours or more, if desired.

  6. Remove from heat and brush layer of sauce on rack
  7. Turn oven to 350 and continue to bake for another 15 min, uncovered.
  8. Remove from heat and brush more sauce.
  9. I broiled for extra 5-7 min. To caramelize the sauce. (Optional)
