Espresso-chipotle St. Louis–style spare ribs recipe

The dry rub acts like a cure, tenderizing the meat and making sure the ribs stay juicy, and is full of great spices smoked Spanish paprika, cumin, and a touch of espresso powder. Slow-cooking them sealed in foil keeps in all of the flavor and juices, and the finish, the chipotle glaze, has the perfect balance of heat, sweetness from the honey, and that hint of coffee-bitterness. These are smoky, sweet, and deeply flavorful and will become a staple in your household.
