Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the silver skin membrane from the back of the ribs. This can be done by slipping a knife under it and peeling it off with a paper towel for grip.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

Step 5

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet. Place the packet on a baking sheet with the seam side up.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Carefully open the foil packets (be cautious of hot steam) and remove the ribs. Discard any excess liquid inside the foil.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar together.

Step 9

Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue sauce mixture.

Step 10

Optional: For a caramelized finish, place the ribs on a grill over medium-high heat or under the oven broiler for 5-7 minutes, brushing on more sauce as they cook, until slightly charred and sticky.

Step 11

Serve hot with additional barbecue sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
