Ingredients

Ribs

2 racks pork ribs membrane removed
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Smoky BBQ Sauce

2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar packed
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
2 In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
3 Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
4 Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the ribs are tender.
6 While the ribs are baking, prepare the BBQ sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
7 Remove ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C).
8 Unwrap the ribs and brush generously with the BBQ sauce.
9 Place the ribs back in the oven, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is caramelized.
10 Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
11 Slice the ribs and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
