1. Combine ingredients for spice rub and mix well. Pat riblets dry, and coat generously with spice rub. Allow to sit in fridge overnight. 

Preheat oven to 200°F.

Arrange riblets in a single layer in a large roasting pan, bone-side down. Add ½ cup of water to pan, and cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil, and place in oven. 

After 1 hour, remove foil/lid, and return to oven. Roast another 4-5 hours. Remove pan from oven, and increase temperature to 450°F. Baste riblets with the fat that has rendered out, and return to hot oven to brown for 10-20 minutes, until a crust has formed. 

Serve hot with techinah (kitniyot), arugula, and sauerkraut. 

 6. Can be prepared up to 4 days in advance. Cool completely, uncovered, then store in fridge wrapped in foil. Reheat, uncovered, at 170-200°F.
