Oven Baked BBQ Ribs
Tender, juicy, and full of flavor, these fall-off-the-bone ribs are baked low and slow in the oven!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 Slab (approximately 3-5 lbs) Pork Baby Back Ribs
- Olive Oil or any other neutral oil for rubbing on the ribs as a binder
- Dry BBQ Rub - I love Kinders Hickory Brown Sugar but any will do
- Barbecue Sauce - I like Sweet Baby Ray's, but again, any kind you like
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit or 135 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. I have included pictures as well as a video above on how to easily do this.
- Rub the ribs with the oil and season generously with the dry rub.
- Wrap tightly in foil with the meat/fat side up. Do a double layer to ensure no leaks.
- Bake for 3 hours. Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap them (watch our for steam!). Leave the foil underneath them, but leave it open.
- Brush the barbecue sauce on them. Turn your oven to broil and stick the ribs under the broil for approximately 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as you want the sauce to caramelize but not burn.
- Remove them from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Cooking the ribs at a low temperature for an extended period is the secret to achieving that incredible tenderness. The slow cooking process breaks down the connective tissues without overcooking the meat, making it juicy and flavorful.
