Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Liquid smoke (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane on the underside of each rack. Slide a butter knife under the thin membrane and peel it back using a paper towel for grip.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Rub the dry spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.
Place the ribs meat-side up on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap each rack tightly in foil, sealing the edges to create a packet.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.
Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap the foil packets. Be cautious of the hot steam.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
In a small saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke (if using). Heat over medium-low until warmed through.
Brush a generous layer of the BBQ sauce over the ribs and return them to the oven (unwrapped) on the baking sheet.
Bake the ribs for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with BBQ sauce every 10 minutes until caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
