Preparing the Ribs:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Preheat your oven to 300\u00b0F (150\u00b0C).<br \/>\n2. Remove the thin membrane from the back of ribs. Use a knife to gently pry it up from a bone and then pull it off using a paper towel to grip it.<br \/>\n3. Mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl to create the rub.<br \/>\n4. Rub olive oil over both sides of the ribs. Generously apply the seasoning mixture, ensuring all areas are covered for a robust flavor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Oven-Roasting:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring no gaps where steam could escape.<br \/>\n2. Place wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 2.5 hours. This slow cook ensures the meat becomes tender.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Preparing the Barbecue Sauce:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. While the ribs are roasting, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat.<br \/>\n2. Stir occasionally, allowing the mixture to reach a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Adjust sweetness with more honey if needed.<br \/>\n3. Remove the sauce from heat and set aside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Grilling the Ribs:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Once the ribs have finished roasting, remove them from the oven and carefully unwrap from foil.<br \/>\n2. Increase the oven temperature to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C), or preheat the grill to medium-high heat.<br \/>\n3. Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet (or directly onto the grill) and generously slather with barbecue sauce on both sides.<br \/>\n4. Grill or roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning halfway and basting with more sauce to ensure a sticky glaze, until the ribs develop a lightly charred crust.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Summary<\/h2>\n<h3>Total Time:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Preparation: 20 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Cooking: 2 hours 45 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Total: 3 hours 5 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Servings: 6<\/h3>\n<h3>Calories: Approximately 500 calories per serving<\/h3>\n<p>Indulge in these luscious barbecue ribs\u2014slow-cooked to perfection and finished with a sweet, tangy glaze.
