Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork spare ribs
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Wood chips (optional, for smoking)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). For a smoky flavor, prepare a charcoal or gas grill with wood chips for indirect heat cooking.

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a knife to lift one end and a paper towel to grip and pull it off completely.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil over both sides of the ribs, then generously coat them with the dry rub, ensuring even coverage.

Step 5

Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil and wrap them tightly to seal in the moisture. Optionally, you can double-wrap for extra security.

Step 6

Transfer the foil-wrapped ribs to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls away from the bone easily.

Step 7

If using a grill, prepare your grill for low and slow indirect heat cooking (about 250°F/120°C). Unwrap the ribs and place them on the grill, bone-side down, for 1 hour. Add wood chips if desired for additional smoky flavor.

Step 8

While the ribs cook on the grill, mix the apple cider vinegar with your barbecue sauce in a small bowl to create a tangy glaze.

Step 9

Brush the barbecue glaze over the ribs during the last 15-20 minutes of grilling, flipping them once halfway to ensure even caramelization.

Step 10

Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes after removing them from the grill. Slice into individual ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
