Ingredients

• 2 racks Baby back ribs
• 4 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tbsp Garlic powder
• 1 tbsp Onion powder
• 1 tbsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by peeling off the membrane on the back of each rack. Use a paper towel for better grip if necessary.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, massaging it in thoroughly for maximum flavor.

Step 5

In a roasting pan or large baking dish, pour the apple cider vinegar and water. Place a wire rack over the liquid and lay the ribs on top, meat-side up.

Step 6

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, sealing the edges to trap the steam.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce and honey. Warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to broil.

Step 10

Brush the ribs generously with the honey-barbecue sauce mixture on both sides.

Step 11

Grill the ribs for 5-7 minutes per side, or broil them in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.

Step 12

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

Step 13

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