Ingredients
3–4 lbs pork baby back ribs
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp chili powder (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup apple juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat dry.
Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder.
Rub the ribs with olive oil and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Place ribs on foil, add apple juice, and wrap tightly.
Bake for 2½–3 hours, until tender.
Unwrap carefully and brush generously with BBQ sauce.
Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake uncovered for 10–15 minutes, until sticky and caramelized.
Broil for an additional 2–3 minutes if desired, watching closely.
Rest for 5–10 minutes, slice, and serve with extra BBQ sauce.
