Ingredients

• 2 lbs Country-style pork spareribs
• 1 tbsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Step 3

Pat the spareribs dry with a paper towel, then rub them evenly with olive oil.

Step 4

Generously sprinkle the spice mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the seasoned ribs in a large roasting pan or baking dish, meat-side up.

Step 6

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake for 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.

Step 8

While the ribs bake, prepare the barbecue glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.

Step 9

After 2 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Uncover the ribs and brush a generous layer of the barbecue glaze over the top of each rib.

Step 11

Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting halfway through with more glaze.

Step 12

Once the ribs are caramelized and slightly charred on the edges, remove them from the oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes.

Step 13

Serve the ribs warm with your favorite sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans.
