Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for grip. This ensures the ribs become tender and absorb the flavors better.
- 2
Mix the Dry Rub
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- 3
Apply the Dry Rub
Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub mixture, pressing it into the meat. Let the ribs sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Cooking
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). This low and slow cooking method will help render the fat and make the ribs tender.
- 5
Wrap the Ribs
Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil to create a sealed environment, which helps to steam the ribs and keep them moist during cooking.
- 6
Bake the Ribs
Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.
- 7
Prepare the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar. Heat over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.

- 9
Finish on the Grill
Transfer the ribs to a preheated grill (medium heat) and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, basting with more sauce, until the exterior is caramelized and slightly charred.
- 10
Serve
Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice between the bones and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
