Ingredients

• 2 racks Baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a knife to loosen it from one corner, then pull it off with your hands or a paper towel for better grip.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create the dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the dry mixture generously over both sides of the ribs to coat them evenly.

Step 5

Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet, meat side up.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls away slightly from the bone.

Step 7

While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside.

Step 8

After baking, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil (be cautious of hot steam).

Step 9

Brush a generous layer of the barbecue glaze over both sides of the ribs.

Step 10

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the glazed ribs meat side down on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, basting with extra barbecue glaze as needed. Turn the ribs over and grill for an additional 5 minutes until caramelized and smoky.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve warm with additional barbecue sauce on the side, if desired, and enjoy your famous baby back ribs!
