American Classic BBQ Baby Back Ribs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).

2. 2

   Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs for better tenderness.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Rub the yellow mustard evenly over both sides of the ribs. This helps the dry rub stick and adds flavor.

5. 5

   Generously coat the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat.

6. 6

   Place the ribs on a large piece of aluminum foil, meat side up. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the ribs.

   Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil and place them on a baking tray.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for

   5 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

10. 10

    Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) or preheat your grill to medium-high.

11. 11

    Brush the ribs generously with classic BBQ sauce on both sides.

12. 12

    Return the ribs to the oven (uncovered) or place them on the grill. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, basting with more BBQ sauce halfway through, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.

13. 13

    Remove from the oven or grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
