Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

Prepare the Ribs

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Make the Rub

Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Season the Ribs

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

Bake the Ribs

In a small saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium heat until warmed through.

Prepare the Sauce

After baking, remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the barbecue sauce mixture over the ribs.

Glaze the Ribs

Increase the oven temperature to broil. Place the ribs back in the oven and broil for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly.

Broil the Ribs

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