Ingredients for Pork Baby Back Ribs

Method

Directions for Cooking Pork Baby Back Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Rub the Ribs

    Generously apply the dry rub all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the ribs sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low temperature ensures tender ribs.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the wire rack, bone side down. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Glaze

    While the ribs are baking, combine the apple cider vinegar and barbecue sauce in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until warm.

  8. 8

    Glaze the Ribs

    After baking, remove the ribs from the oven. Brush the warm barbecue glaze generously over the ribs.

  9. 9

    Broil for Finish

    Switch the oven to broil. Return the glazed ribs to the oven and broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze caramelizes and becomes slightly crispy.

  10. 10

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Cut into individual ribs and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
