⏱ 3 hr 30 min · easy · 🍽 serves 4

Ingredients

• 2 racks baby back ribs
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp mustard powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tbsp cider vinegar

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 275F. Pull the silver membrane off the back of each rack with a paper towel for grip. Skip this and they will be chewy.
2. Mix the sugar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, pepper, mustard and cayenne. Rub it over both sides.
3. Wrap each rack tightly in foil and set on a sheet pan. Bake 2 1/2 hours.
4. Open the foil carefully. The meat should have pulled back from the bone ends.
5. Stir the vinegar into the barbecue sauce and brush it on. Raise the oven to 425F and bake uncovered 15-20 minutes until the glaze bubbles and darkens.
6. Rest 10 minutes before cutting between the bones.
