Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back side of the ribs. This step is optional but recommended for more tender ribs.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create the dry rub.
Rub the dry rub mixture all over both sides of the ribs, ensuring even coverage.
Place a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Lay the ribs meat-side up on the foil. Drizzle olive oil over the ribs and wrap them tightly in the foil.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, until they are tender and the meat starts to pull away from the bones.
While the ribs are baking, mix the BBQ sauce with the apple cider vinegar to slightly thin it out for basting.
After 2.5 hours, carefully remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap them (be cautious of the hot steam).
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce mixture.
Place the ribs back in the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting once halfway through with more BBQ sauce, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
