Meat

4.41 lb (2 kg) Pork spare ribs

Dry Rub

1 cup Brown sugar

2 tbs Watkins paprika

1 tbs Watkins garlic powder

1 tbs Onion powder

1 tbs Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Cayenne pepper

Sauce

1 cup BBQ sauce

2 tbs Apple cider vinegar

2 tbs Honey

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Ribs

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Rinse the pork spare ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if necessary.

Apply the Dry Rub

In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Rub this mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cooking

Bake the Ribs

Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, meat side up. Cover the ribs tightly with more aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender.

Prepare the Sauce

While the ribs are baking, mix together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a bowl. Set aside.

Glaze and Grill

Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the BBQ sauce mixture generously over the ribs. Preheat a grill or broiler and cook the ribs for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning and basting with sauce until caramelized.

Serving

Serve

Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then cut between the bones and serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
