Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F. Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Mix 2 tbsp woodbridge spice rub with 1 tbsp brown sugar and 1 tsp garlic powder. Rub mixture evenly over ribs.
  2. Step 2: Place ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 2 hours, flipping halfway, until meat is tender and pulls away easily from the bone.
  3. Step 3: In a small saucepan, combine bbq sauce, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, and remaining 1 tbsp spice rub. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Brush sauce over ribs and return to oven for 10 minutes to glaze. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
