Looking to impress your family and friends with some mouthwatering barbecue ribs? Look no further! With this simple recipe, you’ll be able to make the most tender and flavorful ribs right in your own kitchen. Get ready to enjoy a plateful of finger-licking goodness!

Preparing the Ribs

1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). This will ensure that your ribs cook evenly and come out tender.
2. On the bone side of the ribs, use a knife or your fingers to loosen and remove the membrane. A little trick is to grip the membrane with a paper towel and pull it off easily.
3. In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create a delicious dry rub.
4. Sprinkle the dry rub over both sides of the ribs, making sure to rub it in for an even coating.

Baking the Ribs

1. Take two long pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, long enough to wrap each rack of ribs separately.
2. Place each rack of ribs on a piece of foil and wrap them tightly. It’s important to seal the foil to prevent any juices from escaping.
3. Put the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours. Your ribs should be tender but not falling apart.

Adding the BBQ Sauce

1. While the ribs are baking, prepare your BBQ sauce. Mix together your favorite BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water in a bowl. This will be used for basting.
2. Once the ribs are done baking, preheat your grill (or broiler) to medium-high heat.

Grilling the Ribs

1. Remove the ribs from the foil and place them directly on the grill (or under the broiler).
2. Generously baste the ribs with the BBQ sauce mixture and cook for 5-10 minutes on each side, turning and basting frequently. This will give your ribs a beautiful caramelized glaze.

Serving and Enjoying

1. Take the ribs off the grill (or broiler) and let them rest for a few minutes.
2. Slice between the bones and serve them with a little extra BBQ sauce on the side.
3. Get ready for the compliments and enjoy your delicious homemade BBQ ribs!
