📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

2. In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

3. Pat the country-style pork ribs dry using paper towels, then rub them evenly with olive oil.

4. Generously coat the ribs with the spice mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly covered.

5. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan or baking dish. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

6. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until they are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.

7. While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, honey, and barbecue sauce.

8. Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

9. Brush the ribs generously with the glaze on both sides.

10. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and slightly sticky.

11. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

12. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables.
