Ingredients

• 2 racks Baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Remove the thin membrane on the back of the ribs for more tender meat. Use a knife to lift the edge and pull it off with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the racks of ribs.

Step 5

Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, sealing the edges to create a packet. Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet meat-side up.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours or until the meat is tender and starts pulling away from the bone.

Step 7

While the ribs cook, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.

Step 8

After baking, carefully unwrap the ribs. Brush the ribs generously with the prepared barbecue sauce.

Step 9

Preheat your grill to medium heat (or set your oven to broil). Place the ribs on the grill or a foil-lined baking sheet.

Step 10

Grill for 5-7 minutes or broil for 3-5 minutes, just until the sauce becomes sticky and caramelized. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 11

Remove the ribs and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice into individual portions and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
