Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Remove the silver membrane from the back of the baby back ribs using a paper towel for a better grip.
  2. Rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel, then set aside.
  3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the ribs meat side up on it.
  4. Coat the ribs generously with yellow mustard, then sprinkle the dry rub mixture evenly over both sides.
  5. Let them rest for at least 1 hour for the rub to penetrate.
  6. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  7. In a roasting pan, combine chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke seasoning.
  8. Lay the seasoned ribs in the pan, meat side up, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Allow the ribs to bake for about 2.5 to 3 hours, checking occasionally for tenderness.
  10. Once tender, transfer the ribs to a foil-lined baking sheet for glazing.
  11. Preheat your broiler on low and brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the ribs.
  12. Broil under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes or until the glaze bubbles and gets crispy.
  13. Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest under a foil tent for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  14. Slice the ribs between the bones and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
