Baked Country-Style Sticky Ribs

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Fully cover a rimmed baking sheet (I use 13" x 18") with heavy-duty aluminum foil, taking care not to puncture any holes in the foil; set aside.
Meanwhile, combine the rib rub ingredients together in a small bowl.
2 tablespoons smoked paprika, 1 tablespooon black pepper, 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon granulated onion, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon dry mustard
Cover your work surface with a sheet of foil, then lay the ribs out and use your fingers to rub the prepared rib rub all over each rib on all sides.
2 pounds country-style boneless pork ribs
Combine the BBQ sauce and honey in a small bowl and set aside.
1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer onto the foil-lined baking sheet; cover tightly with a second piece of foil. Place the seasoned ribs into the oven and bake for approx.1-2 hours, depending on the size of your ribs.
**The ribs should be very fork-tender at this stage before removing them from the oven, so if you need to bake them a bit longer, it's totally fine. Ribs and ovens will vary so don't cook by time, cook the ribs by tenderness.
Using tongs, carefully remove the ribs from the fat that has accumulated on the baking sheet as they cooked. Place the ribs onto a clean foil-covered baking sheet.
Using a silicone basting brush, gently baste the ribs with the prepared bbq sauce mixture, getting into all the nooks and crannies of each rib.
Return the ribs to the oven for another 30 minutes, uncovered, so the sauce can get nicely sticky.
Serve ribs with additional sauce, on the side, if desired.
