Ingredients for Baby Back Ribs
Method
Cooking Directions for Baby Back Ribs
Prepare the Ribs
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.
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.
Season the Ribs
Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
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.
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.
Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Heat on low until warmed through.
Serve
Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then cut between the bones and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
