- Why remove the membrane?
- The silverskin on the bone side toughens during cooking and prevents spices from penetrating the meat.
- How do I know the ribs are done?
- When the meat has pulled back about 1/2 inch from the bone ends and the bones wiggle loosely, they are perfect.

Allergen Information
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Wash and dry ribs. Place bone-side up and use a butter knife to pry up the silverskin membrane, then grip with a paper towel and pull it off in one piece.
Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Rub this mixture thoroughly all over the meat.
Wrap ribs tightly in double layers of foil to create an airtight seal. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 2.5 hours.
When tender, remove from oven and carefully unwrap (watch for hot steam!). Brush generously with BBQ sauce.
Increase heat to 400°F (200°C) and return ribs to the oven uncovered for 15 minutes to glaze and set the sauce.
Meanwhile, boil corn in salted water for 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain.
Melt butter in a pan, stir in chopped parsley, and toss the hot corn in the mixture before serving.
