Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the thin membrane from the back of the rib racks to ensure tenderness. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.
Rub both sides of the ribs generously with olive oil to help the seasoning adhere, then coat evenly with the dry rub. Massage it into the meat for maximum flavor.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir until smooth and simmer for about 5–10 minutes. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste by adding more honey or vinegar, if desired.
After baking, carefully remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap them. Brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce on both sides of the ribs.
Set your oven to broil or preheat a grill. Place the ribs under the broiler or on the grill for 5–7 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and becomes slightly charred.
Remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice between the bones and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
