Country style ribs aren't ribs but are pork shoulder or pork butt cut into strips. These are deliciously baked, coated in a homemade rub and then slowly baked at a low temperature in your favorite BBQ sauce.

2 T. brown sugar
1 T. chili powder
1 1/2 t. smoked paprika
1 t. ground cumin

Spray a baking sheet or casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Line the baking sheet or casserole dish with heavy-duty aluminum foil, wrapping the baking sheet or casserole dish up and over the sides, in case the ribs are extra juicy. This will provide easier clean up.
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Rub it on both sides of the ribs. Place meat in the prepared dish; set aside for about 40 minutes.
Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake at 275 degrees F for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until fork tender. Carefully uncover the dish; drain any juices. Baste with BBQ sauce. Bake uncovered for another 30 minutes or until they're fall-apart tender.
If desired, place them under the broiler for several minutes, keeping a close eye on them since broilers can be unpredictable.
Serve.
6 servings.
* Tip: Don’t try to speed it up by increasing the temperature. The meat will not be as tender or flavorful.
These ribs are not super lean. You will need to trim around the fat, but the fat on these is what makes them juicy, tender, and flavorful.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature or in the microwave at reduced power.
