Ingredients:

  • 2 racks (4 lbs) Baby Back Pork Ribs, membrane removed
  • 0.5 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 0.25 cup Soy Sauce
  • 0.25 cup Honey
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper, freshly cracked
  • 0.5 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions:

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the ribs in a large Ziploc bag or glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring all surfaces are covered. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally 12–24 hours.
  3. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  4. Remove ribs from the marinade, reserving the liquid. Wrap each rack tightly in its own foil packet and place on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the center of the oven for 3 to 3.5 hours until the meat has pulled back from the bones and is tender.
  6. Mix the reserved marinade with 1 cup of BBQ sauce. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Carefully open the foil packets, brush the ribs generously with the glaze, and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and bubbling.
