 2 tsp salt
 1 ½ tsp black pepper
 2 dashes tabasco sauce
 1 tbsp lemon juice

6

Let the rack marinate an hour or more in the fridge

7

Preheat over to 250° F

With meat side down, fold foil around meat to create a tight seal and transfer to sheet pan.

9

Bake in preheated oven until tender and cooked through about 2 hours.

10

Remove from oven and let cool enough to be able to manipulate the foil.

11

Increase oven temperature to 350°F

12

Open foil, drain and discard juices and fat.

13

Brush BBQ sauce on all sides of rack.

14

Place rack meat side up and return to oven, leaving foil open (but making sure the sheet pan is still well wrapped in foil)

15

Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven and brush another layer of BBQ sauce on meat side.
