BBQ ribs
Ingredients
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 racks of baby back ribs
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup barbecue sauce
Method
Combine the brown sugar, chilli powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, oregano, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl and rub the mixture on both sides of the ribs. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 121 degrees C. In a roasting pan, combine the broth and vinegar.
Add the ribs to the pan. Cover with foil and tightly seal. Bake for 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the pan and place them on a platter.
Pour the liquid from the pan into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Add the barbecue sauce.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high. Put the ribs on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and slightly charred.
Cut the ribs between the bones and toss them in a large bowl with the sauce. Serve hot.
