Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ribs
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). While the oven is heating, remove the membrane from the back of the baby back ribs by sliding a knife under the membrane and pulling it off. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

Season the Ribs
Rub the dry rub mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking

Bake the Ribs
Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, meat side up. Cover with another sheet of aluminum foil to keep them moist. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours or until tender.

Prepare the BBQ Sauce
In a saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce simmers and thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Broil the Ribs
Increase the oven temperature to broil. Place the ribs back in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove when the sauce is caramelized.
