1.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (130 degrees Celsius). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add two tablespoons canola oil.
2.
Wash and dry ribs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place a few ribs at a time into the skillet and brown for five minutes on the top and bottom and three minutes on each side. When nice and browned, transfer to a 9×13-inch baking pan.
3.
In a small cup, combine chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, and onion powder. Sprinkle generously over the ribs. (Store leftover spices in a resealable plastic bag or small container for later use.)
4.
Cover pan with foil, seal well, and place in oven while you prepare your rib sauce.
