Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Remove the thin membrane on the back of each rib rack by sliding a knife under the membrane and peeling it off with your hands or a paper towel for better grip.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring an even coating.
Cut each rack of ribs in half if needed to fit into your oven or baking dish.
Lay out large sheets of aluminum foil (one for each half rack), ensuring they are big enough to wrap around the ribs completely.
Place each rib section on a sheet of foil, bone-side down, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar over each section.
Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil and place them on a baking sheet, seam-side up to prevent leakage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, allowing the ribs to tenderize until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap the foil slightly to expose the tops.
Brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the ribs, then return them to the oven uncovered. Increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Remove the ribs from the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes, and serve with your favorite sides. Discard the foil for an easy clean-up!
