Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender results. Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet.
In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Rub this mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring full coverage.
Tightly cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven.
Bake the ribs for 2.5 hours, or until they are tender and easily pull away from the bone.
Prepare your grill by heating to medium-high. If using charcoal, light it and let it come to a gray ash consistency.
Once the ribs have baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Brush the ribs with apple cider vinegar to slightly moisten them and add tang.
Place the ribs on the grill for 10 minutes on each side, basting generously with barbecue sauce.
Ensure the ribs are nicely charred and caramelized from the sauce but do not let them burn.
Remove the ribs from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
