RIBS

These pork barbecue ribs are a no fail, hands down family favourite recipe. There is nothing better than letting your oven do all the work for you, while smelling the incredible BBQ pork aromas drifting all through the house. Sitting down to a plate of steaming hot sticky pork ribs is what’s happening this Father’s Day for many of our American readers! Get ready for the best ribs of your life!

You have all been loving our slow cooker ribs for a few years now, but many of you have asked how to make ribs in the oven. Are you ready?

RIBS IN THE OVEN

Oven, slow cooker or on the barbecue; pork ribs are so versatile they can be cooked either way. If you love soft, fall-off-the-bone ribs, then go for our slow cooker method. But, if you love juicy, tender and crispy ribs with caramelised edges, then this oven ribs method is for you!

HOW TO REMOVE THE MEMBRANE/SKIN OFF BABY BACK RIBS

This is a controversial and personal step when cooking ribs. I grew up eating ribs with the skin left on and only started removing them about 10 years ago — advice from a chef. Personally, I love the chewiness of the membrane when left on, BUT, I also love the ease of eating ribs with it removed.

Go with what YOU love!

  • Turn ribs over with bone/rack-side facing up. Carefully slide a blunt knife under the membrane at one end of the rack.
  • Lift to loosen the membrane off of the bone.
  • Using a sheet of paper towel to hold onto the membrane, peel it off the back of the ribs.
  • It should come off in one piece.

HOW TO COOK RIBS IN THE OVEN

The easiest barbecue ribs besides slow cooking!

  • Prepare ribs as above, then pat them dry with a sheet of paper towel.
  • Rub with our dry rub mixture (recipe below). I like to drizzle some olive oil over them for the best juicy, tender and crispy results.
  • Arrange them on a lined baking tray. You can use foil or parchment paper.
  • Bake for a couple of hours, then slather with our BBQ sauce mixture. Use a brush or spoon to spread it evenly over the tops.
  • Broil (or grill) for an additional 2-5 minutes to get crispy, charred edges.

RIBS MARINADE

Our marinade is only made up FOUR ingredients!

  • BBQ sauce — use a good quality bbq sauce for this recipe. You can use a smoky flavoured sauce or regular sauce. I prefer plain, regular bbq sauce.
  • Garlic — you won’t be sorry adding a good kick of garlic to these ribs!
  • Olive oil — a little oil in the sauce gives even crispier, caramelised results when mixed through the barbecue sauce.
  • Worcestershire sauce — adds incredible flavour!

For those of you who love a little heat or spice in your life, you can add in Chili or Cayenne powder!

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 2 hrs 15 mins
Total: 2 hrs 25 mins
Serves: 4 - 6 people

Ingredients

RIBS:

  • 4 pounds (2 kg) baby back pork ribs
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili or Cayenne powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

SAUCE:

  • 2 cups (500ml) barbecue sauce
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 - 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Peel off tough membrane that covers the underside/bony side of the ribs. Place on a baking sheet or tray lined with foil (or parchment paper). 
  • Combine together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cumin and chili or Cayenne. Sprinkle seasoning over ribs and drizzle with oil. Rub the seasoning all over the ribs on both sides. Cover tray with foil and bake for 2 hours.
  • During the last 5 minutes of cook time, mix together sauce ingredients.
  • Remove ribs from the oven, remove foil and spread the tops of the ribs with the barbecue sauce mixture.
  • Increase oven temperature to 460°F (240°C). Return ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for a further 10 minutes. Change oven settings to broil (or grill) on medium-high heat to lightly char and caramelise the edges (about 3 minutes).
  • Rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to recirculate back into the meat before slicing.
  • Enjoy!

    Don’t think I’m going to order ribs at restaurants anymore. Can’t believe they’re so easy to make! Barbecue ribs are a staple of cooking, so I’m so glad I got the chance to do them well. I also made some boiled sweet corn on cob with sour cream and a simple celery, apple and carrot salad, it was a hit. Just one cup of barbecue sauce was plenty enough for me and my family though, so I adjusted the other ingredients accordingly, and, since I prefer my barbecue on the sweet and tangy side and the basic barbecue sauce that I had available wasn’t so much so, I added about a tbsp or two of brown sugar and a tsp of apple cider vinegar, in case that’s helpful to anyone.

    I just made these with a few adjustments. Used smoked paprika, added Mustard powder as well and baked at 300 for 2.5 hours. The ribs fell off the bone and it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely make this again. Super easy and my boyfriend said it smelt like I was grilling, so really great if you don’t have a grill.

    THE BEST ribs I have ever made or had. Absolutely delicious! I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and baked these at 275 for 3.5 hours before taking off the foil and adding the BBQ sauce. Turned out super tender. I don’t usually leave reviews but this recipe is a winner!

    Hey guys Brian here from Montreal Quebec Canada 🇨🇦…the great thing about this recipe and any other recipe is that it is not written in stone folks…make it the way the recipe says the very first time and then after that makes the changes in it to personalize it to your taste. Some like more sweet and some like less salty recipes. Have fun with it…great site good recipe. Feel free on this one to use your own baby back rib rub. My sister tried it out and dumped in some coca cola…well ❤️👍😜

    I’ve tried several recipes and realized I keep searching for recipes until I find the one I truly enjoy. I need to look no further. Exceptional recipe! Full of flavor. I made a slab of ribs for my Little People and didn’t add in the chili pepper and the cayenne peppers. I followed the recipe for the adults. They enjoyed the ribs. My 6-year-old asked me to make it again tomorrow. Won’t happen but will do so in the near future. ☺️ Thank you!

    These ribs were so good! It was my first time making ribs (ever) and I can’t use my smoker that I just got due to living in an apartment.
    I got a ~3lb. rack of baby back ribs and used the same amount of spices as the 4lb. that the recipe calls for. I heated the ribs (covered) for 1hr and 50 min. (-10 min. off the rec. time), took them out and removed the cover foil and basted with the sauce. I used Stubb’s brand Hickory Mesquite sauce and added ~1 1/2 tbl. of Honey to it for a touch of sweetness. I let cook uncovered for the same 10 min. with the sauce and took them out again and basted with more sauce before letting broil for 2 min. (not 3 because the smoke alarm would have gone off…) Let rest for the recommended 10 minutes. AMAZING! Husband was in shock that ribs this good came from the oven. 10 out of 10! Will do again with different sauces!
    Thank you!!!!

    Karina,
    Edit the part of lining the pan with also covering the meat with foil, some people will assume you don’t have to cover and will just stick the meat in the oven uncovered. Luckily I know how to cook so I knew already lol. But love your site and my family is addicted to quite a few recipes on here. It’s to the point I have you bookmarked! Made these tonight for dinner my house is filled with the aroma so much my neighbors are asking me what did I put on the ribs. lol Next time im gonna use Mesquite sauce instead of Hickory Smoke. But i did put liquid Mesquite smoke on them, boi were they good!!!! Do you have a book?

    Made these for the first time for my husband for Father’s Day dinner. Ribs are his go-to meal when we go out for a pub meal, so I wanted to make it for him for Father’s Day and this hit the nail on the head. This dish had great flavour and it couldn’t be easier. The instructions were easy to follow and produced a meal that tasted and looked like I put a lot of effort into it. Now he says we don’t need to go out to have ribs anymore because I can make it at home. ? Thanks for a great recipe.

    I was searching for a recipe for ribs that could be made without access to a barbecue. These were perfect! Juicy, tender and easy to do.

    Very good flavor! I will use the recipe again for sure. Only problem was that mine turned out a little too crispy, like really charred. I might leave it on 350F next time instead of turning it up to the 460F, for those last 10 minutes. Any other suggestions?

      I notice a lot of other rib recipes call for the temp to be anywhere from 250-275 for 3-4 hours, instead of 350 for 2 hours. Perhaps that will help. I am going to try this out today.

    So. I have regular spare ribs, not baby backs. Any suggestions on adapting the cooking time? Thanks!

    The membrane my huge slab of ribs was a PITA but well worth it. I didn’t have any cumin and I added dried granulated onion instead of powder, also added some white pepper. I did everything by “the eye” I didn’t use any measuring spoons. Went pretty heavy on the paprika and cayenne, usually go lighter on the salt and boy are we happy. You can cook one hour covered or less and the rest uncovered if you want more of a “bark” on the top of the ribs. Thanks for the inspiration. I usually never reallocate the ribs I make exactly, unless I try I can get it consistent, but I love the exploration of it all and always a little something extra. Added some Famous Dave’s rib rub and some creole spice to it. Enjoy everyone

    Also, i cook it for 3 hours at 275 before cranking heat up at the end

    Made pork ribs last night and everyone loved it. I don’t eat pork so I have to take their word for it. I’ll try it with beef ribs next. I’m saving this recipe for sure. Best one so far, I could tell when I was assembling the ingredients that it was going to be a hit. Thanks

      Very nice!
      I varied the spices a little to accommodate what I had but drizzling olive oil is a great way to keep them moist and crispy. Mine just went into the oven but I already know they’re going to taste amazing. They already smell delicious 🐖

    Have been searching a fair while now to find a rib recipe that replicates what I found travelling in the US. This is absolutely perfect. I followed the instructions and they came out falling off the bone, rich in flavour.

    Cooking this now. 1 hr to go. I made a small change to the sauce. I added a wee bit o Irish to it. Its delicious!!! Pops! ( recommend adding by the capful and tasting before adding a second (or 3rd) I found the second made it twice as good. So I figured that naturally the 3rd….. Lol enjoy

    I’ve made these twice already: once without removing membrane and once with it removed. They were a hit both times. Everyone was smacking and licking their fingers and asking for more. My boyfriend even said they were as good or better than ribs on the grill! This recipe will be in constant rotation!

    Cooking these right now, too many ribs for 1 pan so I hope that putting 2 pans in the oven at once (being layered) are ok.

    I am about to try this baby ribs recipe and need some advice on the barbeque sauce. What sauce did you use as the base to later make it your own? I found many of them too sweet.
    Thank you in advance for the brand / name recommendation.

      I feel the same way about most commerical BBQ sauces. I prefer mine to be more savory with only a hint of sweetness. The best one I’ve found is Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Flavor. Despite the name, it is not as sweet as other brands.

    I am making these ribs as we speak. I am unclear about the foil. First you say to p0ut them on a parchment or foil lined pan etc and then “cover the pan with foil.” One of your guests asked the question and you replied “uncovered”. Just checking while it’s still early in the process. thanks!

      Hi Jan! They go in covered for the first 2 hours. Then uncover and spread with sauce, return to the oven and continue with step 6. I’m so sorry for the confusion! I hope I’m relying in time.

        Thanks! We just ate them and they were DELICIOUS!!!! I took off the foil after the first 30 min. Only because I wasn’t sure what to do. We finished them off on the grill. So yummy!!!!! My guess is that it could go either way—foil or no foil. Thanks for the recipe. Will definitely do again.

          You keep them covered to help with cooking ,the steam stays in so that they are nice and tender from cooking in their juice, you uncover the last 15 minutes of cooking and on higher heat so the steam can escape and the barbecue will stick to the meat.

      Hey Benjamin. You can use boneless if you wish! They won’t need as much time in the oven, possibly 1-1/2 hours. If you try them, please let me know how you go!

      Line pan with foil for easy cleanup. You also have to cook the ribs covered on foil for two hours. After two hours, remove the foil and cook for ten minutes.

    Made these last night. Wow. I’ve been making ribs with the same recipe for years and it’s always been my go to, but now it’s gone to another level. They were awesome. We like spicy so my choice for barbecue sauce was a chipotle barbecue sauce. I also didn’t have a massive cleanup of dried on barbecue sauce. Another bonus!

    I just made these for dinner and my family loved them! The recipe was super easy, and the ribs were falling off the bone tender. My family doesn’t like ribs too saucy, so I just made half of the sauce , and that was plenty for my three and a half pounds of ribs. Thanks for the great recipe! I will definitely make these again.
