Instructions
Prepare the Spice Rub
Mix smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off completely.
Season the Ribs
Coat all sides of the ribs generously with the spice rub, pressing it firmly into the meat. Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and let them rest for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Slow Bake the Ribs
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking tray and cook for 2.5 hours. The low and slow heat breaks down the collagen making the ribs extremely tender.
Glaze with BBQ Sauce
Mix the BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar. Carefully unwrap the ribs and brush the glaze generously over both sides. Return them to the oven uncovered at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes until caramelized.
Rest and Serve
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing between the bones. Serve with remaining BBQ sauce on the side and your favorite sides.
