Method
Preheat the oven to 150°C and remove the thin membrane from the back of each rack of ribs.
Mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper and salt, then rub all over the ribs.
Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and roast for 3 hours, until the meat has pulled back from the bone ends and is tender enough to tear with gentle pressure.
While the ribs roast, stir together the ketchup, cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to make the glaze.
Unwrap the ribs, brush generously with the glaze and grill under a hot overhead grill for 5 minutes until the glaze is sticky and lightly charred.
Rest the ribs for 5 minutes before slicing between the bones to serve.
