Ingredients

• 4 pounds country-style pork ribs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a roasting rack on top if available.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and brown sugar to create the spice rub.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork ribs. Drizzle olive oil over the ribs and massage it in to help the spices adhere.

Step 4

Place the seasoned ribs on the prepared roasting rack. Cover the entire baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil to lock in the moisture.

Step 5

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until they are tender and pulling away from the bone.

Step 6

While the ribs are baking, prepare the spicy glaze by combining barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and warmed through.

Step 7

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully discard the top layer of foil. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).

Step 8

Brush a generous layer of the spicy glaze over the ribs. Return the ribs to the oven and cook uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through.

Step 9

Transfer the ribs to a serving platter, brush with any remaining glaze, and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
