Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks pork back ribs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 roll aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a knife to lift the edge, then pull it off using a paper towel for grip.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. This is your dry rub.
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and coat them with olive oil. Then, generously rub the dry mixture all over the ribs, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Place each rack of ribs on a large piece of aluminum foil, bone-side down. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the ribs for additional moisture and seal the foil packets tightly.
Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.
After baking, carefully unwrap the ribs (watch out for steam!) and discard any excess liquid.
Brush the ribs liberally with BBQ sauce on both sides. Then increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Place the uncovered ribs back on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the BBQ sauce caramelizes and the ribs are tender.
Optionally, for extra char, finish the ribs on a grill for 5-10 minutes over medium heat.
Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes, then slice between the bones and serve. Enjoy your beautifully tender back ribs!
