These ribs came out great with a few modifications. For the rub - #1 doubled the recipe for 1 rack of baby back ribs, #2 added 2 tsp of roasted granulated garlic & 1 tsp of onion powder #3 swapped out 1/2 of the black pepper for white pepper. #4 after rubbing the ribs I let them rest overnight in a zip lock back. When it came to the roasting, I had read in some other reviews that the ribs came out extremely crusty. To prevent this I wrapped them in heavy duty aluminum foil and roasted @325* for 90 min, then opened pouch and roasted for another hour, maybe hour 15 min. This was enough to form a nice crust without it getting to heavy. Didnt need any sauce, and I did not find the orange flavor over powering.

Fabulous dry rub. I wrapped them in heavy duty foil overnight then baked them - in the foil- and grilled as directed. Used my own BBQ sauce, but I'll try this next time. Awesome recipe! Everyone loved them.
