πŸ§‚ Ingredients

For the Ribs:

  • 2 racks pork baby back ribs (about 4 lbs total)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 2 tsp black pepper

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp brown sugar

For the BBQ Sauce:

  • 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tsp mustard (optional)

  • Dash of hot sauce (optional for spice)


πŸ”₯ Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ribs

  1. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs for better texture.

  2. Rub both sides with olive oil.

  3. Mix all dry seasonings in a small bowl and generously coat the ribs.

  4. Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is even better).


Step 2: Bake or Grill

Oven Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2 ½ – 3 hours until tender.

  3. Remove ribs from foil, brush with BBQ sauce mixture, and bake uncovered for 20–30 minutes, basting occasionally until caramelized.

Grill Method:

  1. Preheat grill to medium-low (275–300°F).

  2. Cook ribs indirectly (not over direct flames) for about 2 ½ hours, covered.

  3. Brush with BBQ sauce during the last 15–20 minutes for that perfect sticky glaze.


🍯 Homemade BBQ Sauce (Optional)

If you’d like to make your own, combine these ingredients in a saucepan:

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • ¼ cup molasses or brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp vinegar

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
    Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often, until thick and glossy.


🍽️ Serving Ideas

  • Serve ribs with cornbread, mac & cheese, coleslaw, or grilled veggies.

  • Sprinkle fresh herbs or sesame seeds on top for presentation.

  • For extra sweetness, drizzle a bit more honey right before serving.


πŸ’‘ Pro Tip

Let the ribs rest 10 minutes before cutting — this helps keep all that juicy flavor locked in.
