Ingredients
  

Rib Ingredients
  • 3 lbs Country-Style Pork Ribs 1.36kg
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar 30g
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika 15g
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder 5g
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder 5g
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce 240ml
  • 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar 30ml
  • 1/4 cup Water 60ml
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley 8g, finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 White Ceramic Baking Dish 9x13 inch preferred
  • 1 Aluminum foil Heavy duty
  • 1 Silicone Basting Brush

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat ribs dry. Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub into all sides of the pork.
  2. Place ribs in a white ceramic baking dish. Pour water into the bottom without touching the rub on the meat.
The Roast
  1. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 2.5 hours until tender and slightly shredded at the edges.
  2. Remove foil, drain liquid. Brush with BBQ sauce mixed with vinegar. Increase heat to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, basting again halfway, until thick, glossy, and charred in dark patches.

Notes

Watch the ribs closely during the last 5 minutes to prevent the sugar in the sauce from burning.
Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving to ensure succulent juices are locked in.
