Ingredients

• 2 racks Baby back ribs
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane on the underside using a paper towel for better grip and to enhance flavor penetration.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, sealing them well to hold in moisture.

Step 6

Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, until they are tender.

Step 7

While the ribs are cooking, mix the BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar in a bowl to create a glaze.

Step 8

After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven, discard the foil, and brush the ribs with the BBQ sauce and vinegar mixture.

Step 9

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 10

Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally and basting frequently with the BBQ sauce, until caramelized and sticky.

Step 11

Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
