Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork spareribs
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 0.25 cups Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 cups Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the membrane on the back of the pork spareribs by sliding a knife under the membrane and pulling it off with a paper towel for grip.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Generously coat both sides of the pork spareribs with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to marinate.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) for slow roasting.

Step 5

Place the marinated spareribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, meat side up, and brush them with apple cider vinegar. Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil to seal in moisture.

Step 6

Place the wrapped spareribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.

Step 7

While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze by combining honey, soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke (if using) in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well blended and slightly thickened. Set aside.

Step 8

After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

Step 9

Brush the ribs generously with the prepared glaze on both sides. Place the ribs back in the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, brushing with more glaze every 10 minutes, until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.

Step 10

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting into individual portions.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the succulent flavors!
