9 Finger-Licking BBQ Rib Recipes for the Perfect Feast

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Start by preparing the ribs; remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they're well-coated.

Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, meat side up. Cover them with another sheet of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender.

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the homemade BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and smoked paprika in a saucepan. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and preheat your grill (or broiler) to medium-high. Brush the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and place them on the grill. Cook for about 5-10 minutes on each side, basting with more sauce, until caramelized and slightly charred.
