Baby Back Ribs Ingredients
Method
Baby Back Ribs Directions
Prepare the Ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.
Make the Rub
In a bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create a spice rub.
Season the Ribs
Generously coat the ribs with the spice rub, ensuring they are evenly covered. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
Smoke the Ribs
Place the ribs in the smoker bone-side down and smoke for about 3 hours.
Wrap and Rest
Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil with apple cider vinegar and return to the smoker for another 1 hour.
