Ribs

Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the silver skin from the back of the baby back ribs. This is a thin membrane that can make the ribs tough.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

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

Making the BBQ Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Cook the Sauce

    Stir the mixture and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cooking the Ribs

  1. 6

    Wrap in Foil

    Once seasoned, wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 7

    Bake the Ribs

    Bake the wrapped ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

  3. 8

    Glaze the Ribs

    After baking, carefully unwrap the ribs and brush them generously with the BBQ sauce.

  4. 9

    Broil for Finish

    Place the ribs under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing them between the bones. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
