Equipment

1 baking sheet
aluminum foil
measuring cup

Ingredients

2 slabs pork ribs Trimmed and silver skim (membrane) removed from the backside.
1/4 cup BBQ Rub
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup apple juice
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300˚F.
Place the ribs in the center of a baking sheet lined with a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil (shiny side down). Coat the ribs with the dry rub on both sides of the rack patting the rub to help it stick to the meat. (You can cover the ribs and refrigerate for up to 24 hours at this point.)
Whisk together the chicken stock, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke.
Wrap the ribs loosely in the foil to create a pouch leaving one end open on each pouch. Pour the braising liquid evenly into each pouch (your racks will each be in their own foil pouch at this point.) Seal the open end and transfer to the oven.
Bake the ribs for two hours or until the internal temperature reaches 190˚F.
Unwrap the ribs and coat with the barbecue sauce.
Turn the broiler on high and broil the ribs for 4-5 minutes or until caramelized and sticky.
Allow the ribs to rest for 5 minutes, then cut into pieces.
Serve immediately with extra sauce, if desired.

Notes

Ribs can be baked up to 48 hours in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Brush with bbq sauce and broil right before serving.
