Instructions:
1. Prep the ribs: Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs. Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub all over the ribs.
2. Bake low & slow: Wrap each rack in foil and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
3. Make the sauce: While ribs bake, simmer BBQ sauce, bourbon, honey, vinegar, mustard, and chili flakes in a saucepan until slightly thickened (10–15 minutes). Set aside.
4. Finish: Remove ribs from foil, brush with sauce. Broil or grill for 5–7 minutes, brushing more sauce until caramelized and glossy.
5. Serve: Slice between the bones, pile onto a platter, and serve with extra sauce.
