Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked or regular)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin from the back. If the butcher hasn’t already removed it, use a sharp knife to loosen one edge and peel it off.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Rub the seasoning mixture generously all over the ribs, ensuring an even coat.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lay the seasoned ribs, meat-side up, on the rack.

Step 6

Tightly cover the entire tray with aluminum foil, creating a sealed pocket to trap in moisture. This will keep the ribs tender as they cook.

Step 7

Bake the ribs for 2.5 hours, checking occasionally to make sure your oven temperature remains consistent.

Step 8

While the ribs are baking, mix the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl to make a basting glaze.

Step 9

After 2.5 hours, remove the tray from the oven and carefully take off the foil covering. Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue glaze.

Step 10

Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C), and return the ribs uncovered to the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Every 10 minutes, brush on another layer of barbecue glaze for extra flavor and caramelization.

Step 11

Once the ribs are sticky and caramelized, remove from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side, and enjoy your fall-off-the-bone oven barbecue!
