Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under the membrane and pulling it off using a paper towel for grip.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil to seal in moisture, and place them on a baking sheet meat side up.
Bake the ribs in the oven for 2.5 hours or until they are tender and the meat is pulling away from the bones.
While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue glaze by combining the barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer gently for 5 minutes and set aside.
Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil (watch out for hot steam).
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue glaze on both sides, then return them to the baking sheet meat side up.
Place the ribs back in the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
