• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.
3. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
4. Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.
5. Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down, and cover tightly with another piece of foil.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the ribs are tender.
7. In a saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar, and heat over medium heat until warmed through.
8. Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the oven and preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
9. Brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce mixture and grill for about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
10. Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
