Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the rib slab. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Mix the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Apply the Dry Rub

    Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the pork ribs, ensuring even coverage. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Wrap the Ribs

    Wrap the rib slab tightly in aluminum foil, sealing it well to keep the moisture in.

  2. 6

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours.

  3. 7

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

    While ribs are baking, in a saucepan combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, mustard, and smoked paprika. Mix on medium heat until well combined and heated through.

  4. 8

    Glaze the Ribs

    After baking, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil. Brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs.

  5. 9

    Broil the Ribs

    Turn the oven to broil, and return the ribs to the oven uncovered. Broil for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce starts to caramelize.

Serving

  1. 10

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
