Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- 2
Prepare the Ribs
Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs. This will help the rub penetrate the meat better.
- 3
Make the Dry Rub
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- 4
Season the Ribs
Generously coat each rack of ribs with the dry rub, ensuring all sides are covered. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to develop.
Cooking
- 5
Wrap the Ribs
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet, seam side up.
- 6
Bake the Ribs
Bake the wrapped ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until they are tender.
- 7
Prepare the BBQ Sauce
While the ribs are baking, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until it simmers, then reduce heat and let it thicken for about 15 minutes.

- 9
Broil the Ribs
Place the sauced ribs under the broiler for 5-7 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Serving
- 10
Slice and Serve
