Ribs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the ribs.

  4. 4

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  5. 5

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully uncover. Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the ribs.

  6. 6

    Broil the Ribs

    Return the ribs to the oven and broil on high for about 5–7 minutes, until the BBQ sauce is caramelized.

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional BBQ sauce and coleslaw on the side.
