Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Baby back ribs
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the rib racks to ensure tender meat. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.
Generously rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet, and place them on a baking sheet meat-side up.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 3 hours or until they are tender and the meat is pulling away from the bone.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and well combined.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil packets (be cautious of the steam). Discard any liquid accumulated in the foil.
Brush a generous layer of the barbecue glaze on both sides of the ribs.
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) or preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the glazed ribs back onto the baking sheet (or directly onto the grill grates) and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Remove the ribs from the oven or grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
