Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs Recipe Recipe

Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs Recipe recipe
The Spruce Eats

When time and/or weather prevents us from getting to the smoker, this oven method for barbecued baby back ribs works great.

Ingredients

1/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon paprika (smoked or regular)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
2 full racks baby back pork ribs (trimmed of excess fat, patted dry)

Method

1
Gather the ingredients.
2
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 250 F. Combine the brown sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, chipotle, thyme, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
3
Place each rack of ribs in the center of its own large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Apply the dry rub to each side of the 2 racks (more so on the meat side).
4
Wrap each rack in foil. Put the 2 foil-wrapped racks on a rimmed baking sheet.
5
Bake for 2 hours until the meat is fully cooked and tender but not falling off the bone.
6
Remove the ribs from the oven. Using tongs , open the foil. Place racks on 1 piece of foil on the baking sheet, meat-side up. Brush barbecue sauce on both sides. Turn up the oven temperature to 350 F.
7
Return ribs to the oven and continue cooking, brushing with more barbecue sauce about every 15 minutes, until the ribs are fork-tender and well-glazed, about 30 to 45 minutes total.
8
Let rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
9
Cut ribs can be tossed in additional sauce if desired.
