Garlic Salt Spare Ribs

For tonight's dinner, the hubster wanted to make spare ribs a bit different than usual. We did a test batch where the ribs came out too salty but otherwise quite delicious! Here's what we did for our actual dinner:

Take the spare ribs and trim the fat and remove the membrane film thingy. Then cut into manageable sizes.

In a small bowl, mix 2 tbs kosher salt, 1 tbs garlic powder and 1 tbs onion powder. (There may be leftovers depending on how much meat you're cooking up.) Sprinkle this mixture nicely over the top of your spare ribs. If you rub this salt mixture everywhere like what we did with our test batch, it'll end up toooooo salty.

Then you'll need to mix 1/2 cup (8 tbs) water with 2 tbs liquid smoke. Ratio is 4:1.

Pour the diluted liquid smoke into your spare ribs dish. Try not to pour over your ribs as you may wash out the garlic salt mixture. It should just cover the bottom of your dish and then some.

Place in preheated oven of 350°F and bake for 1-1/2 hours. It should look like the above. PS: When it's baking, it smells like the most delicious hot dog ever... I'm pretty sure that's from the liquid smoke :D

The ribs came out amazingly delicious, perfectly salted, and very juicy! It wasn't dry at all. Definitely finger-lickin' good!

Super handy to have these:
