Oven BBQ Ribs with Oklahoma Joe’s Rib Rub
I’ve been using the recipe for Oklahoma Joe’s rib rub for a long time. The first time I learned of the Oklahoma Joe’s restaurant (now Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que), I was watching the Travel Channel, and the tv host Adam Richman was visiting. Once my eldest child went to college in Kansas City, the restaurant was one of my first stops! The bbq, sauces and sides were all fabulous.
I found the Oklahoma Joe’s rib rub recipe online years ago, and recently I decided to add it to my own website so that I don’t have to search for it online.
