Ingredients

• 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1.5 cups BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Liquid smoke (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane on the underside of each rack. Slide a butter knife under the thin membrane and peel it back using a paper towel for grip.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Rub the dry spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.

Step 5

Place the ribs meat-side up on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap each rack tightly in foil, sealing the edges to create a packet.

Step 6

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.

Step 7

Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap the foil packets. Be cautious of the hot steam.

Step 8

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).

Step 9

In a small saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke (if using). Heat over medium-low until warmed through.

Step 10

Brush a generous layer of the BBQ sauce over the ribs and return them to the oven (unwrapped) on the baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake the ribs for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with BBQ sauce every 10 minutes until caramelized and sticky.

Step 12

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

Step 13

Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
