METHOD:

1. Mix together the rub ingredients then coat the ribs well, especially on the meaty parts. Let them sit for 20 mins (or overnight).
2. Preheat oven to 160°C (all oven types).
3. Place ribs on a tray in a single layer. Pour apple cider underneath the ribs, cover with foil then bake for 1 hour 30 mins or until the meat is tender.
4. Take out the ribs, crank heat to 180°C. Remove the foil, drizzle with oil, and put the ribs back in for 15 mins or until the rub gets crispy.
5. Line a new tray with foil then baking/parchment paper.
6. Remove ribs from oven, transfer to lined tray. Pour any juices from tray over the ribs.
7. Flip ribs so the bonier side is up. Slather with BBQ Sauce, then bake 10 mins.
8. Remove from oven, then turn ribs over so the meaty side is up. Slather with BBQ Sauce, bake 5 mins. Repeat 2 to 3 more times until you've got a thick glaze on the ribs.
9. Cut ribs into individual or multiple rib portions and serve with remaining BBQ Sauce!

BBQ Sauce directions

1. Place all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 45 mins or until thickened.
2. Adjust to taste: sweetness with brown sugar/honey, salt and sour with vinegar. Use for glazing ribs and as a sauce for serving.
