Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons regular sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon oregano, and 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper to make a dry rub.

Pat the baby back ribs dry and remove the membrane.

Transfer the ribs into a piece of foil and rub mustard as a binder.

Apply the dry rub evenly on both sides of the ribs and press it down.

Cover the ribs with foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Allow the ribs to come to room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the ribs on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 2 hours.

Mix 1.25 cups ketchup, 0.33 cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons sriracha, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Maggi seasoning sauce, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to make barbecue sauce.

After 2 hours, carefully remove the ribs from the oven and pour about 1 cup of barbecue sauce over them, brushing it on.

Place the ribs back in the oven on the top rack and bake for another 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, add more barbecue sauce and return the ribs to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, cover the ribs and let them sit for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
