Apply the Dry Rub
Generously rub the dry rub mixture all over the pork spare ribs, ensuring even coverage. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Cooking

Preheat the Oven

Prepare the BBQ Sauce
In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld.
