Ingredients:

• For the Ribs:
  • 3 lbs pork spare ribs
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
• For the BBQ Sauce:
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ribs:
   • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for tender results.
   • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
   • Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs. Drizzle with olive oil and massage it into the meat.
   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors penetrate.
2. Pre-cook the Ribs:
   • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
   • Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil, bone side down. Cover tightly with another layer of foil.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender but not falling apart.
3. Make the BBQ Sauce:
   • While the ribs are baking, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
   • Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, until thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Grill or Broil the Ribs:
   • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or set the oven to broil.
   • Remove the ribs from the oven and brush generously with the BBQ sauce.
   • If grilling, place the ribs on the grill, meaty side down, and cook for about 5 minutes, flipping once and basting with more sauce. If broiling, place under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
5. Serve:
   • Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let them rest for a few minutes.
   • Slice between the bones to separate the ribs.
   • Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
