Ingredients
- 2 racks country ribs
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250F. Peel off the tough membrane from the boney side of the ribs and discard.
- Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, and oregano in a small bowl and stir to combine. Cover the ribs with the spice mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- In a roasting pan, combine the chicken stock and vinegar. Add the ribs and cover the pan tightly with foil. Bake for 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the pan and transfer the leftover stock to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add the BBQ sauce and set aside.
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the ribs for 5-6 minutes on each side or until slightly charred. Cut into individual ribs and toss in a bowl with the sauce.
Notes
- Remove the membrane: This helps the ribs become more tender and allows the seasoning to penetrate.
- Don’t rush the cooking time: Low and slow is the secret to perfect ribs.
- Marinate longer for more flavor: Overnight is ideal if you have the time.
- Keep them covered while baking: This locks in moisture and prevents drying out.
- Finish with high heat: This step creates that classic BBQ texture and flavor.
