Begin by rinsing the pork ribs under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. If there is a thin membrane on the back of the ribs, carefully remove it to help the seasonings penetrate the meat and make the ribs more tender. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and chili powder. Rub this seasoning mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, making sure every part is evenly coated. Once seasoned, allow the ribs to rest for about 30 minutes so the flavors can absorb into the meat.
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Place the seasoned ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil and wrap them tightly to lock in moisture. Transfer the wrapped ribs to a baking tray and cook in the oven for about 2½ to 3 hours. During this slow cooking process, the meat becomes tender and starts pulling away from the bones. While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue glaze by mixing the barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl until smooth.
After the ribs have finished baking, carefully remove them from the oven and unwrap the foil. Brush a generous layer of the barbecue glaze over both sides of the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) or preheat an outdoor grill. Place the ribs back into the oven or onto the grill and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, brushing with more sauce once or twice. This final step creates a rich, sticky barbecue coating and adds a delicious smoky flavor.
Once the ribs are beautifully glazed and slightly caramelized, remove them from the heat and allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing between the bones. Serve the BBQ ribs hot with classic American side dishes such as coleslaw, baked beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, or French fries. The ribs should be juicy, tender, and coated in a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, making them a true USA-style comfort food favorite. Total preparation and cooking time is approximately 3½ to 4 hours, and the recipe serves 4 to 6 people. 🍖
