Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor and tenderness.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Rub the mixture all over the ribs, ensuring an even coating.

  3. 3

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

  4. 4

    Apply BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush TR’s Original™ BBQ Sauce generously over the ribs.

  5. 5

    Final Bake

    Return the ribs to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
