Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork ribs
For the Spice Rub:
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 Tablespoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the Sauce:
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup barbecue sauce + more to serve, if desired
Instructions
- If your ribs have a silverskin (some butchers remove it before you purchase), you will need to remove it. There are tons of tutorials and advice on how to do this. This is one of my favorites.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder and cayenne pepper. Rub the blended mixture on both sides of your pork ribs. Cover and refrigerate at the very least 2 hours but overnight is best.
- Preheat your oven 250 degrees F. In a large roasting pan, combine the chicken broth, cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic and soy sauce. Add the pork ribs to the roasting pan.
- Cover the roasting pan with foil and seal tight. Bake at 250 degrees F for 2 hours.
- Remove the pork ribs from the oven, and place the ribs on a large platter.
- Gently pour the liquid from the pan into a medium saucepan on the stove and bring to a boil. As soon as you hit the boil point, immediately lower the heat to a medium simmer and cook until you have reduced the starting liquid by about half. Pour in the barbecue sauce and blend well. Brush a thin layer of barbecue sauce mixture on ribs.
- Preheat your barbecue grill to medium high (about 275 degrees). Next, oil the grill.
- Place the pork ribs right on the grill, using tongs to maneuver them into place. Grill, covered, over medium heat for about 5-8 minutes on each side. (Internal temperature of 160 degrees).
- Remove from grill and allow to rest at least 5 minutes. Cut between the bones and toss the ribs in the remaining sauce. ENJOY!
