Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks pork ribs (about 4 pounds)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a large baking sheet with foil.
- In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the ribs.
- Place the seasoned ribs on the baking sheet, meat side up. Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake the ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.
- In a bowl, combine barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and honey.
- Remove ribs from oven and discard the foil. Brush the sauce all over the ribs.
- Set the oven to broil. Broil the ribs for 5–7 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
- Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
Notes
- Let the ribs marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
- Use a basting brush for even sauce coverage.
- Watch closely while broiling to prevent burning.
