# What You Need:
→ Ribs
01 - 3 to 4 pounds pork or beef ribs
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Dry Rub
03 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
04 - 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
08 - 1 teaspoon salt
09 - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
→ Barbecue Sauce
10 - 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
11 - 2 tablespoons honey
12 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
02 - Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs if present and pat dry with paper towels.
03 - Rub olive oil evenly over the ribs. Combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl, then coat ribs thoroughly with the dry rub.
04 - Place the ribs meat side up on the prepared baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 2 to 2½ hours until tender and the meat pulls away from the bones.
05 - Stir together barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
06 - Remove ribs from oven and increase oven temperature to 425°F or preheat grill to medium-high heat.
07 - Brush ribs generously with the barbecue glaze. Return uncovered to the oven or place on the grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, basting once, until caramelized and sticky.
08 - Let ribs rest for 5 minutes, then slice between the bones and serve with additional sauce as desired.
