Method
Preparing the Ribs
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low temperature will help cook the ribs slowly and keep them tender.

Prepare the Ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off. This will help the rub penetrate better.

Apply Dry Rub
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Rub the mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.
Cooking the Ribs

Wrap and Bake
Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

Prepare Barbecue Sauce
While the ribs are baking, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a saucepan, mix together ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
