Oven Baby Back Ribs
These Oven Baked Baby Back Ribs require minimal effort but deliver maximum taste and tenderness. These fall-off-the-bone ribs are a crowd pleaser for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back ribs
- ½ cup Dry Rub for Ribs
- 1 cup prepared barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Remove silver skin membrane from bone side of rib racks. Place ribs in single layer on rimmed baking pan. If necessary, cut rib racks into halves or thirds to fit onto pan easier.
- Rub ribs all over with dry rub. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add 1/2 cup water to bottom of pan with ribs; cover tightly with foil. Transfer to middle rack of oven and cook 2 hours or until meat is nearly falling off the bone.
- Brush ribs with barbecue sauce. If desired, char ribs a little bit under the broiler: preheat broiler to HIGH. Place ribs under broiler and broil 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly charred, watching carefully. Cut ribs and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you’ve never removed silver skin from a rack of ribs before, watch this video first. Despite the guy in the video trying to scare you, I promise you that it’s super easy.
- While the recipe below uses the oven start to finish, you can char the ribs on a grill in Step 5 instead of under the broiler, if you want! I do this for my Crockpot Ribs Recipe.
