Ingredients
- 3 racks Baby back ribs
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Step 2
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin membrane from the bone side of the racks for better tenderness.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix Old Bay seasoning, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and kosher salt to form the dry rub.
Step 4
Rub both sides of each rack of ribs with a light coating of vegetable oil, then generously apply the dry rub mixture, pressing it into the meat.
Step 5
Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet meat-side up.
Step 6
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bone.
Step 7
While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
Step 8
After baking, carefully unwrap the ribs and transfer them to a grill preheated to medium-high heat (or set your oven to broil).
Step 9
Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue glaze on both sides.
Step 10
Grill (or broil) the ribs for 5-7 minutes per side, brushing with more glaze as needed, until caramelized and slightly charred.
Step 11
Remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 12
Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
