Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to allow a slow bake that ensures tender ribs.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to create the dry rub.
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Generously coat the ribs on all sides with the dry rub, ensuring an even distribution of spices.
In another bowl, mix the honey with apple cider vinegar. Brush this mixture over the ribs, letting it meld with the spices.
Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover tightly with another layer of foil to trap in moisture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bone.
For a caramelized finish, remove the top foil, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C), and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, brushing with any remaining honey-vinegar mixture.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and smoky flavors.
