Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Baby back ribs
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane on the underside using a paper towel for better grip and to enhance flavor penetration.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, sealing them well to hold in moisture.
Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, until they are tender.
While the ribs are cooking, mix the BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar in a bowl to create a glaze.
After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven, discard the foil, and brush the ribs with the BBQ sauce and vinegar mixture.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally and basting frequently with the BBQ sauce, until caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
