BBQ Ribs Ingredients

Method

BBQ Ribs Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your grill or oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring an even coating. Drizzle olive oil over the ribs and rub it in.

  4. 4

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, basting with apple cider vinegar every 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add BBQ Sauce

    During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the BBQ sauce onto the ribs and allow it to caramelize.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the grill or oven, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
