Ingredients Notes For Fall-Off-the-Bone Ribs:

• Pork Ribs: Baby back ribs or St. Louis-style ribs.
• Dry Rub: A mix of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne for heat.
• BBQ Sauce: Your favorite store-bought or homemade BBQ sauce.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Adds moisture and a slight tanginess.
• Honey: Optional, for added sweetness and caramelization.
• Foil: For wrapping the ribs during cooking.

Recipe Steps:

1. Prepare the Ribs:
   • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
   • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better texture. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
2. Apply the Dry Rub:
   • In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (if using). Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
3. Wrap and Cook the Ribs:
   • Place each rack of ribs on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar over the ribs. Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil to create a sealed packet.
   • Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull away from the bone.
4. Prepare the Grill (Optional):
   • If you want a smoky finish, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Glaze with BBQ Sauce:
   • Carefully unwrap the ribs and discard the foil. Brush a generous amount of your favorite BBQ sauce over both sides of the ribs.
6. Finish on the Grill (Optional):
   • Place the ribs on the preheated grill and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes per side, brushing with more BBQ sauce and allowing it to caramelize. If not using a grill, you can broil the ribs in the oven for a few minutes until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
7. Serve:
   • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting into individual ribs. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Storage Options:

• Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
• Freeze: Wrap the cooked ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven.
