Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your grill or oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the ribs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill or in a baking dish and cover with foil. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender, turning occasionally.

  3. 3

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Glaze the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the grill or oven, discard the foil, and brush the BBQ sauce generously on both sides of the ribs. Return to the heat for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the ribs rest for a few minutes, then slice between the bones. Serve with additional BBQ sauce and pickles on the side.
