Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor and moisture during cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar.
Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the brisket, making sure to coat all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, liquid smoke (if using), and water to create the BBQ sauce.
Pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the brisket in the pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Place the pan in the oven and roast for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
Check the brisket every 1.5 hours, basting it with the sauce and ensuring there is enough liquid in the pan. Add a little water if necessary to prevent the brisket from drying out.
Once the brisket is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
