Baby Back Ribs Recipe

Cooking Directions for Baby Back Ribs

1. 1

   Prepare the Ribs

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.

2. 2

   Make the Rub

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

3. 3

   Season the Ribs

   Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

4. 4

   Prepare for Baking

   Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, and fold the edges up to create a sealed packet. This will keep the moisture in while they bake.

5. 5

   Bake the Ribs

   Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

6. 6

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Heat on low until warmed through.

7. 7

   Glaze the Ribs

   After baking, carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place them on a grill or a broiler for about 10-15 minutes, brushing with the barbecue sauce mixture to caramelize.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then cut between the bones and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
