Ingredients
Scale
- 2 full racks baby back ribs, membrane removed
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F or prepare a grill for indirect heat cooking.
- In a bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, kosher salt, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Pat ribs dry with paper towels and lay them on the sheet.
- Rub ribs with mustard, then coat evenly with the spice mix. Wrap tightly in foil.
- Bake or grill ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours until meat is tender and pulls from the bones.
- Unwrap, brush with a glaze of honey and apple cider vinegar, then broil or grill for 5–10 minutes to caramelize.
- Let rest briefly, slice between bones, and serve hot.
Notes
- Let ribs marinate in the rub overnight for deeper flavor.
- Use double foil wrapping to trap in moisture during cooking.
- Always remove the membrane from the ribs for best texture.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day.
