Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Pat the spareribs dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet, meaty side up, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is pulling away from the bones.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the BBQ glaze by combining BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until well blended and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
After 2.5 hours of baking, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully discard the foil. Brush a generous coat of the BBQ glaze over both sides of the ribs.
Optionally, finish the ribs on a grill: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and place the ribs on the grates for 5-7 minutes per side, basting with more glaze as you go, until slightly caramelized and charred.
If not using a grill, return the glazed ribs to the oven and broil them on high for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
Remove the ribs from the oven or grill, let them rest for 10 minutes, and slice into individual portions. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side and enjoy!
