Ingredients

• 3 lbs Country-style pork ribs
• 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

Pat the country-style pork ribs dry using paper towels, then rub them evenly with olive oil.

Step 4

Generously coat the ribs with the spice mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly covered.

Step 5

Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan or baking dish. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 6

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until they are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.

Step 7

While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, honey, and barbecue sauce.

Step 8

Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

Step 9

Brush the ribs generously with the glaze on both sides.

Step 10

Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and slightly sticky.

Step 11

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables.
