Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel and lightly coat them with olive oil.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the ribs to coat them thoroughly.
Place a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish on the stove over medium-high heat, and sear the ribs on each side for 2-3 minutes until browned.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth.
Pour the BBQ mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the skillet or baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture and prevent drying out.
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 2.5-3 hours, basting the ribs with the sauce every hour, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
Once done, carefully remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
