Pork Baby Ribs Back

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs by sliding a knife under the membrane at one end and peeling it off with your fingers.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create an even dry rub.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Generously rub the dry rub mixture all over the ribs, ensuring every part is coated. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

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

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil to lock in moisture.

  6. 6

    Bake the Ribs

    Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until they are tender.

  7. 7

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey together until well combined.

  8. 8

    Glaze the Ribs

    After baking, carefully remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the ribs generously with the sauce mixture.

  9. 9

    Broil

    Place the ribs under the broiler for about 5-10 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and bubbles. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

  10. 10

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes, then cut between the bones and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
