Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork baby back ribs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika (smoked if available)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite)
- 1 roll aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).
Step 2
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin membrane on the underside of the rack. Use a knife to loosen one edge and a paper towel to grip and peel it away.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper to make the dry rub.
Step 4
Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, massaging it into the meat to ensure the flavors penetrate deeply.
Step 5
Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, meat side up. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar and honey over the ribs for an added layer of flavor and moisture.
Step 6
Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls away easily from the bone.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil. Brush a generous amount of barbecue sauce onto the ribs.
Step 8
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to broil. Place the ribs on the hot grill or under the broiler and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping once and brushing with barbecue sauce again, until the ribs develop a caramelized, sticky glaze.
Step 9
Remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice into individual ribs and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
