Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce (your choice)
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 roll Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife underneath it and pulling it away with a paper towel for grip.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Lay out a large sheet of aluminum foil and place the ribs on it, meat side up. Fold the edges of the foil to create a sealed packet.
Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet to catch any drippings. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.
After 2.5 hours, carefully remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before opening the foil.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce with apple cider vinegar and water to thin it slightly.
Unwrap the ribs and brush a generous layer of the barbecue sauce mixture over the top.
Place the ribs back into the oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
