Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the baby back ribs for better flavor and tenderness.

  3. 3

    Mix the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Apply the Dry Rub

    Rub the dry rub mixture generously over both sides of the ribs. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, meat side up. Cover with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours.

  2. 6

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    While the ribs are baking, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

  3. 7

    Glaze the Ribs

    After baking, remove the top layer of foil and brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs. Return the ribs to the oven uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
