1/2 tablespoon paprika
3/4 tablespoon garlic powder
3/4 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 cup BBQ sauce

Notes
Choose ribs with a good balance of meat and fat for best results.

For crispier ribs, broil with extra BBQ sauce for 2 to 3 minutes after cooking.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
