Ingredients

• 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for maximum tenderness. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture generously onto both sides of the ribs.

Step 5

Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, meat side up. Pour 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar over the ribs. Wrap the ribs tightly in foil to seal them.

Step 6

Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2.5 hours to allow them to become tender.

Step 7

While the ribs are baking, prepare the sticky glaze. In a saucepan, combine BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and the remaining 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Step 8

After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

Step 9

Carefully unwrap the ribs and discard the foil. Place the ribs on the baking sheet, meat side up.

Step 10

Brush a generous amount of the sticky glaze over the ribs.

Step 11

Return the ribs to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through, until the glaze becomes sticky and caramelized.

Step 12

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into portions.

Step 13

Serve warm with additional glaze on the side and enjoy your finger-licking sticky juicy ribs!
