Ingredients

• 2 racks baby back ribs (beef or pork)
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane on the underside. Use a knife to lift it at one end, then pull it off using a paper towel for grip.

Step 3

Combine paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl to make the dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil all over the ribs to help the seasoning adhere. Generously apply the dry rub to both sides of the ribs, pressing it in for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, sealing the edges to create a packet. Place the packets on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).

Step 7

While the ribs are cooking, heat your barbecue sauce in a small pot. Add the apple cider vinegar for tanginess and stir well. Set aside.

Step 8

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once the ribs have finished cooking, carefully remove them from the foil packets and place them directly on the grill.

Step 9

Brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce onto the ribs. Grill for about 5-8 minutes per side, basting with more sauce and allowing the ribs to caramelize.

Step 10

Remove the ribs from the grill once the sauce is sticky and slightly charred. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

Step 11

Serve the ribs hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
