These are my favorite. Yes, my stomach is growling now.

Should your 5 ingredient Rib rub recipe not read 1 packed CUP Brown Sugar vice Tbsp? Impossible these ingredients, as listed, would cover 4 racks of ribs. not even 1 rack. All you would taste is the chili and cinnamon. Thank you. Great ideas here!

These are country ribs, not racks of ribs. The measurements are correct.

It looks delicious, I have discovered. I am beginning to take care of my health and have I started using airfryers what do you think? They serve very well for cooking with less oil.
