Method

Rib Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepping the Ribs

    Start by removing the membrane from the back of the baby back ribs. Use a sharp knife to gently lift the membrane at one corner, then grip it with a paper towel and pull it off completely.

  2. 2

    Seasoning the Ribs

    Rub the olive oil over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of the ribs.

Dry Rub Application

  1. 3

    Mixing the Dry Rub

    In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well until evenly combined.

  2. 4

    Applying the Dry Rub

    Generously apply the dry rub mixture all over the ribs, pressing it into the meat to ensure it adheres well. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Ribs

  1. 5

    Preheating the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 6

    Baking the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, meaty side up. Cover them tightly with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the ribs are tender.

  3. 7

    Glazing the Ribs

    After baking, remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top foil. Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the ribs, then return to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
