Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 racks baby back ribs (about 4–5 pounds total)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ribs: Remove the thin membrane from the back of each rack. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
  2. Make the Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Mix well.
  3. Apply the Rub: Sprinkle the rub generously over both sides of the ribs, patting gently to adhere. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat and Wrap: Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Place each rack on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Optionally add 2 tablespoons of apple juice or water to each packet. Fold foil tightly to seal.
  5. Slow Bake: Place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until meat is tender and pulls back from the bone ends.
  6. Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, and sriracha. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, then stir in butter until melted.
  7. Glaze and Broil: Carefully open foil packets and transfer ribs to a clean baking sheet. Brush generously with glaze. Broil on the top rack for 3-5 minutes, watching closely. Apply another layer of glaze and broil for 2-3 more minutes.
  8. Rest and Serve: Let ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the bones. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.

Notes

For extra flavor, apply the dry rub the night before and refrigerate. Watch the broiler closely to prevent burning. Let ribs rest before cutting for best texture.
