Baby Back Ribs Recipe

Combine onion powder, garlic powder, instant salabat  mix, paprika, cayenne powder, and dried thyme. Rub into baby back ribs. Wrap tightly with 2 layers of foil and marinate in the fridge overnight.

Bake wrapped ribs in an oven preheated to 275°F for 2½ hours.

Make the sauce: Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion. Add water, pineapple juice, soy sauce, cane vinegar, whiskey, cayenne powder, banana ketchup, salt, and ground black pepper; mix. Simmer on low heat for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove ribs from foil and pour excess juices into the pot. Brush ribs with sauce and bake for 10 more minutes. Serve extra sauce on the side.
