If you have never cooked ribs in the oven, you are in for a tender treat.
Low and slow heat and a whole lot of patience (it will take close to 5 hours) and you will have a deliciously tasty and fall of the bone tender rack of ribs.
Make this ahead of time before your next family get together!
Ingredients:
- 1 rack of baby back ribs (ours was 3 lbs which should serve 6 people)
- 3 Tablespoons Award Winning Pork Rub
- 1 cup BBQ sauce or try our Bone Doctor Original BBQ Sauce (in-store only)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, cut away the extra flap of tough meat and the top and discard.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and lay the ribs on the baking sheet.
- Generously coat all sides of the ribs with Award Winning Pork Rub. Work it in with your hands, making sure that all surfaces are coated.
- Bake ribs, meaty side up, in the oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, uncovered.
- After the 2.5 hours has passed, remove the ribs from the oven and brush 1/2 of BBQ sauce all over them.
- Cover the ribs with aluminum foil and put them back in the oven and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 2.5 hours.
- Ribs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 190 degrees.
- Increase the temperature in the oven to 450 degrees.
- Brush the remaining sauce over the ribs and place them back in the oven uncovered for 5-10 minutes to create a thick crust with the sauce.
- Remove from oven, loosely cover with foil and rest for about 5 minutes. Serve.
