Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork baby back ribs
• 1.5 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by gently removing the membrane from the underside of the racks. This will help the spices and sauce penetrate the meat better.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Rub the dry spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating sealed packets to lock in moisture.

Step 6

Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bones.

Step 7

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil packets, being cautious of escaping steam.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce with apple cider vinegar for added tanginess.

Step 9

Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue sauce on all sides.

Step 10

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Place the ribs back onto the baking sheet, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through, until the sauce caramelizes and the ribs develop a sticky glaze.

Step 11

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

Step 12

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables.
