Baby Back Ribs with Spicy Dry Rub
Ingredients:
2 lb slab baby back ribs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon or more cayenne pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Mix all spices and sugar together in a small bowl. Remove thick white fatty skin from underside of ribs. Get off as much as you can, it doesn’t have to be perfect. Rub spices on ribs.
2. Place ribs on aluminum foil. Add apple cider vinegar. Wrap ribs in aluminum foil. Bake at 275 degrees for 3 hours. To get your ribs even more “fall off the bone” by breaking down the fat and connective tissue even more, continue to cook for another 1/2 hour to one full hour.
3. Let rest at least 15 minutes after removing from the oven and unwrapping.
