   3. Line a baking tray with plenty of foil. Place ribs in the centre of the tray. Cover both sides of the ribs with the dry rub. Wrap the foil tightly around the ribs and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
   
   4. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator. Pre-heat oven to 160°C.
   
   5. Once oven is hot, bake the foil-wrapped ribs for 1 hour 30 minutes at 160°C.
