Tips
- Remove the papery membrane from the ribs to prevent a plastic-like texture when biting.
- Use mustard as a binder for the dry rub, not for flavor.
- Leave the rubbed ribs unwrapped overnight in the fridge to develop flavor and a tacky skin for a nice crust.
- The cooking liquid from the ribs is used to enhance the homemade barbecue sauce.
