Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar.
Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs evenly on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary.
Transfer the seared ribs to a large baking dish or roasting pan, arranging them in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Pour the mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Baste the ribs with the sauce from the pan, then bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, cornbread, or coleslaw, and drizzle extra sauce from the pan on top.
