Best BBQ Ribs

Ingredients:

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 TBS Kosher salt

1tsp black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (the kids like less)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

2 racks baby back ribs

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
(optional 1 Cup BBQ sauce)

Directions:

1. Combine the brown sugar, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, the oregano, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl and rub the mixture on both sides of the ribs. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. In a roasting pan, combine the broth and vinegar. Add the ribs to the pan. Cover with foil and tightly seal. Bake 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.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high. Put the ribs on the grill baste with juices from the pan and cook about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and slightly charred. (If you don't want to use the grill turn the oven on broil for about 3-4min)
4. If adding BBQ sauce cut the ribs between the bones and toss them in a large bowl with the sauce mixed with pan drippings. Serve hot. 

My family would rate this 4 or 5 out of 5 stars. (It was a little spicy for the kids so I reduced the cayenne pepper to 1/4 tsp)
