Succulent Oven BBQ Ribs — Three Ways
Serves 6-8

Ingredients You Will Need:

  • baby back or spareribs
  • paprika
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • dark brown sugar
  • salt
  • dried oregano
  • celery salt
  • cayenne pepper
  • granulated garlic powder
  • dry mustard
  • ground cumin
  • Honey or your favorite BBQ sauce(SEE ABOVE)–if using

How to make oven BBQ Ribs:

  1. Remove the thin papery skin from the back of each rack of ribs by pulling it off in a sheet with your fingers, using the corner of a kitchen towel to gain a secure grip.
  2. Optional:–Cut each full rack of ribs in half, so that you have 4 half racks instead of two.
  3. Measure and combine the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl and whisk to mix.
  4. Rub two thirds of the mixture over the ribs on both sides.
  5. Wrap tightly in foil meat side down. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  7. Bake ribs wrapped tightly in the foil at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  8. The ribs are done when the bones extrude and the meat is fork tender.
  9. Remove from foil and 1.Add more dry rub OR 2.Brush with your favorite bbq sauce OR 3. Drizzle with honey.
  10. Broil for 15-20 minutes until desired color and doneness.
Notes: Steven Raichlen, the BBQ master recommends using pork ribs as it is one of the most perfect morsels ever to grace a dinner plate. The meat is generously marbled, which keeps it moist during the prolonged cooking process. As the fat melts, it bastes the meat naturally. The bones impart a rich, meaty flavor, while literally providing a physical support-a gnawable rack on which to cook the meat.
Any type of ribs can be used for this recipe: baby back ribs, long ends, short ends, rib tips….

Oven BBQ Ribs
Measure spices

Did I ever tell you? You spice up my life……

Combine the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Note: that is not a whisk below…
Sprinkle and rub two-thirds of the mixture over the ribs on both sides.
Side 1
Side 2
Sprinkle mustard powder over phone and counter….and try not to make a mess like I did…
I suggest you wrap with the meat side down and NOT like this…

Wrap tightly…Place in oven….

After two and a half hours of cooking. Low and slow…
This is what I meant by “meat side down”…..drain liquid and flip over…
To look like this…

You now have three choices:-

1) Sprinkle remaining rub over the rib for a dry rub rib
or 2) Brush with your favorite bbq sauce
or 3) drizzle with honey for a sweet rib…
or if you are nutty like me combine all three choices…sometimes…

Next, place under the broiler for 10-15 minutes until desired color and doneness…

FYI only—my home made bbq sauce

The ribs below were made with honey and placed under the broiler to finish..
Tender, Flavorful Goodness. The End.
