Slide a knife under the silvery skin, and pull up. Grab it with your fingers and remove the membrane all in one long strip.
Cut ribs in half for easy handling (optional).
Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Pre-cook the ribs, rub and slather with BBQ Sauce
Simmer ribs for 30 minutes in some salted water. Remove, cool slightly and dry with a paper towel. Rub with the mixed spices on both sides of the ribs (see recipe card). Brush with bbq sauce.
Grill, and devour
Heat a grill (gas grill, pellet grill, wood chip grill) to medium heat and sear the ribs bone side up, brushing with extra bbq as you go. This should take less than 15 minutes.
Remove from the grill and brush with more bbq sauce.
