Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Chicken stock or water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Rinse the country-style ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Rub the ribs with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, and onion powder to create the dry rub.
Generously massage the dry rub onto all sides of the ribs.
Place the ribs in a large roasting pan or baking dish, keeping them in a single layer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken stock or water.
Pour the barbecue mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are completely coated.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to lock in the moisture.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
For extra caramelization, remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the ribs with additional barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
