Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, if not already done. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet, bone-side down, and cover tightly with foil.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. While the ribs are baking, prepare the barbecue glaze.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cider vinegar, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and water. Stir well and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
After 60 minutes of baking, carefully remove the foil from the ribs. Brush a generous layer of the barbecue glaze over the top of the ribs.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes. Enjoy!
