Recipe: Kansas City Ribs
Description: One of three recipes--also try my Memphis Style Pork Ribs or Chinese Five-Spice Ribs.  Nothing fancy, but folks will rave about these melt-in-your-mouth delites.  These are sweet and slightly spicy.
Ingredients: [{"text": "1/2 cup brown sugar"}, {"text": "1/4 cup paprika"}, {"text": "1 tablespoon black pepper"}, {"text": "1 tablespoon kosher salt"}, {"text": "3/4 tablespoon granulated garlic"}, {"text": "3/4 tablespoon onion powder"}, {"text": "1/2 teaspoon celery seed"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon cayenne pepper"}, {"text": "1 tablespoon chili powder"}, {"text": "2 pork rib racks, St. Louis cut"}, {"text": "barbecue sauce (optional)"}]
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Mix rub ingredients together well.
Lay the ribs on a rack in a foil-lined pan, and rub all of the spice mix evenly on both rib racks.
Bake meat side-up for 2 hours, or until each rack droops on both sides when picked up with tongs in the middle.
Serve with favorite BBQ sauce, or dry.  (I enjoy both ways).
HINT:  Can bake ahead, especially if making for a crowd.  To reheat, bake (meat side up) partially covered with foil for 30 minutes at 250 degrees F.
