Ribs

Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Wrap the Ribs

    Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet. Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake the Ribs

    Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, until they are tender and fully cooked.

Making the BBQ Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Finishing the Ribs

  1. 7

    Preheat the Grill

    If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Glaze the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap them. Brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs.

  3. 9

    Grill the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and grill for about 5-10 minutes, basting with more BBQ sauce as they cook.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Once nicely caramelized, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Cut between the bones and serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
