Materials

  • - 3 pounds baby back ribs 2 slabs
  • - 1 medium white onion sliced
  • - Sweet BBQ Rub:
  • - 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • - 1 tbsp paprika
  • - 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • - 1 tsp garlic powder
  • - 1 tsp onion powder
  • - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional for heat

- Glaze:

  • - 1/2 cup honey
  • - 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • - 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • - 1 tbsp olive oil
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Place ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the Sweet BBQ Rub in a bowl. Rub generously onto both sides of the ribs.
  • Place sliced onions on top of the ribs. Cover tightly with another piece of foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until ribs are tender.
  • While the ribs are baking, mix all the ingredients for the glaze in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture reduces by half, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove ribs from oven and increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Remove the top piece of foil and brush the ribs with the glaze.
  • Return to the oven uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
