Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels, then drizzle them with olive oil and rub it all over the ribs to coat.
Evenly sprinkle the dry rub over the ribs, making sure to coat all sides, and gently rub it in with your hands.
Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer in a large roasting pan or baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until they are tender and a fork easily pierces the meat.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the barbecue glaze by combining the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven. Uncover the pan and generously brush the ribs with the barbecue glaze on all sides.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes. Baste the ribs with additional glaze halfway through this step for extra flavor.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy the tender, flavorful ribs!
