Servings: persons

2 racks baby back ribs, trimmed
Spice rub:
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Glaze:
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 teaspoons hot chile paste, or to taste

1
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2
Combine fennel seeds, black pepper, sugar, garlic salt, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
3
Place rib racks on the prepared baking sheet; cut several shallow slits in the membrane along the backs of the ribs with a sharp paring knife. Rub fennel seed mixture on both sides of ribs.
4
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Flip ribs and bake until a fork inserts easily between the bones, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Set aside to cool completely, about 1 hour.
5
Combine brown sugar, orange juice, vinegar, orange zest, and hot chile paste in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
6
Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
7
Cut rib racks into individual ribs; toss with glaze in a large bowl until evenly coated. Place ribs on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve any additional glaze in the bowl for basting.
8
Bake glazed ribs for 5 minutes. Flip, brush with remaining glaze, and bake until browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
