Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Pork spareribs
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the spareribs to help the seasoning penetrate the meat.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and brown sugar.
Pat the spareribs dry with a paper towel and rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet to trap in moisture.
Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until tender.
While the ribs are baking, mix the barbecue sauce with apple cider vinegar in a small bowl to create a tangier glaze. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium heat or set your oven to broil if you don't have a grill.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil (watch out for the hot steam).
Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue sauce mixture on both sides.
Finish the ribs on the grill for 5-7 minutes per side, flipping once, until the barbecue sauce caramelizes and forms a sticky glaze. If broiling, place under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before cutting into individual portions. Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side!
