Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a knife to loosen it from one corner, then pull it off with your hands or a paper towel for better grip.
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create the dry rub.
Rub the dry mixture generously over both sides of the ribs to coat them evenly.
Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet, meat side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls away slightly from the bone.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside.
After baking, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil (be cautious of hot steam).
Brush a generous layer of the barbecue glaze over both sides of the ribs.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the glazed ribs meat side down on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, basting with extra barbecue glaze as needed. Turn the ribs over and grill for an additional 5 minutes until caramelized and smoky.
Remove ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the bones.
Serve warm with additional barbecue sauce on the side, if desired, and enjoy your famous baby back ribs!
