Ingredients

  1. 2 racks baby back ribs
  2. 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  3. 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  4. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  6. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  7. 1 teaspoon onion powder
  8. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  9. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  10. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  11. 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  12. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  13. 3 cups ketchup
  14. 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
  15. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  16. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. For the ribs: Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Combine the brown sugar, black pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper, in a small bowl. Completely coat both sides of ribs with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat. Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2 hours. Cool for 15 minutes, then carefully remove and discard the aluminum foil.
  3. For the barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, put the sugar, cayenne, red pepper flakes and garlic powder in a medium saucepan. Mix well together to break up any lumps. Stir in the ketchup, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Makes 3 1/4 cups sauce.
  4. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the ribs liberally with the barbecue sauce and grill until the sauce starts to darken, about 10 minutes. Cut into individual ribs and serve warm with any extra barbecue sauce on the side.

Best ribs I’ve ever had. I’m giving up my old recipe. These were flavorful & falling off the bone tender. Absolutely delicious

This was a hit! Loved this recipe. Will totally make again!
Kathryn Nguyen
Original recipe was too vinegary for me.  I added an extra cup of ketchup and doubled the dry ingredients to cut the vinegar taste.

This recipe can be easily adapted to your own taste. What makes Tiffani’s recipe a 5 star is her methodology. I used her rub and cooking instructions, but used a KC version of bbq sauce and it was great. Will use it again.
