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!

- 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!
Loula says
Best BBQ ribs recipe. Have used this recipe multiple times and it never disappoints. Recipe is very easy to follow which is an added bonus.
TQ says
These were the BEST! I used sweet baby rays HONEY bbq sauce and the garlic I added really enhanced the taste. They were amazing! Good gawd y’all!!
Jaime Maurice Hutchinson says
Used the same sauce
It was perfect
KC Barter says
I just made these tonight for dinner for my clients at work and I will say they were a hit! I have never made ribs before so I was definitely out of my comfort zone with this one, but the recipe is so easy to follow. One of my clients even went so far as to say that they didn’t believe the fact that I have never in my life cooked ribs before tonight after eating them
Sydney says
10/10! My 5 year old said that it was the best dinner she’s ever had, my 3 year old just ate it right up, my boyfriend said it was good, and the meat fell right off the bones. I didn’t put the cayenne pepper in, but I did use chilli powder! Thank you so very much for the recipe!
Kat says
Made this recipe twice, got them in the oven a third time as we speak. Awesome oven baked rib recipe for sure. I personally like to made a little Carolina style bbq for these bad boys. If you’re into that mustard base bbq sauce, you’ll love it. Guaranteed!
Shaheen says
Thanks i impressed my bf after making this dish.
Waiting for related recipes
Rose says
This is THE BEST! Easy and super delicious! Literally eating one as I type this!
You don’t need any other recipe! Thanks for sharing a super easy and delicious recipe. One thing though, if boiling first, they need way less than 2 hours!
Liana says
Amazing recipe! This is a new family favorite 🙂 Has anyone tried to cook these on the BBQ in a metal pan? It’s really hot, so I don’t want to turn on my oven.
Karen says
This recipe is amazing! I’ve made it several times now and the whole family loves it. The first time I made it my husband was doubtful he would like it since the ribs weren’t cooked on the grill or smoker, but now he’s sold. These are definitely now in the menu rotation!
Tao says
I just wanted to say I absolutely love this recipe. I’ve been making it for about a year now. Everyone I’ve made it for raves about it. I don’t change anything, except I’ll add some honey to the sauce depending on what BBQ sauce I’m using. I usually go with Original Sweet Baby Rays (I add honey to it). It’s easy to find, and not too expensive. I’ve used more “premium” sauces (2x the price) and they’ve come out worse. Thank you so much for this, really! This is my go to for a cheap meal I can impress with.
Katherine says
I’ve made this recipe 5x and will never need any other rib recipe. It’s insanely DELICIOUS! So much flavour! Hands down best recipe. You won’t be disappointed!
Tabitha Worley says
Fabulous! I mean just the very best…served with mashed potatoes and asparagus 🙂 Will be a new family fave
Jodie says
These ribs are a family favourite at our place. I love making these as they are so easy. I throw corn cobs into the oven with the ribs at the 1.5 hour mark, then all is ready together, a super easy and tasty dinner.
brian santoro says
super good and the nice part was I was able to put the rub on without cyanine pepper for the wife and then put my rub on afterwards with it. going to do this one again…
brian santoro says
cayenne pepper…
Bonnie says

Bette says
I made this recipe tonight for the second time. SO good and will be my go-to rib recipe from here on out. It’s easy and includes ingredients I always have on hand. Thank you!
Tiffany Gallagher says
My kid who is a picky eater LOVES this recipe. She was so upset when I told her I was making ribs. She said she was gonna eat a hotdog if they were very good. And then she ate them and she loves them and now she’s excited cause we’re having them again tonight. Very easy to make.
Anna says
I read thee years worth of reviews and saw no negative reviews (a first) so I tried them and they are DELICIOUS. Cooked them exactly as instructed and they were perfect. This will definitely be the recipe I use from now on.
Karen says
Wow, I made these ribs as a bedtime snack absolutely delicious I shit myself in the middle of the night. My husband was not impressed. I had to throw out everything, including one of the walls in our room that I slid across on the way to get more ribs!!!! 10/10 recommend
Pieter says
Fantastic ribs, the best I ever had!
I did 3,5 hours on 135°c, then 10 min on bbq with sauce on top, perfect!
Jax says
I had a 2lbs baby back rib. Cooked at 300 for 2.5 hours. Incredible recipe!!!! Thank you so so much. My new go to rib.
Shavon S says
I made these RIBS
My RIBS came out GREAT!!!

Massimo Saccomando says
Great ribs I’ve done them several times already and I don’t use as much barbecue sauce but it’s still delicious and tender!
Eliza Kifer says
My go to rib recipe, I’ve made it several times now and it’s always delicious!
Tri says
I tried this recipe the other day and my boyfriend and I enjoyed it! It was so good. I could tell that it was going to be good because of the taste of bbq sauce ingredients provided. I will make this recipe again! Maybe for Christmas !!
Daniel says
I d’ont usally make any comments, but god almighty they’re good.
Don’t think twice, im doing it at least twice a month.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Shawna says
Can these be made with BI short ribs? I only have those on hand..
Elly says
The reviews did not lie. The ribs are delicious!!! I also followed some reviewers who wrote to cook them at a lower temperature. They definitely fell off the bone. I also used only 1 cup of bbq sauce when making my sauce and there was plenty but to each their own. I would definitely make this again
Danielle says
Been making these for 3 years now during NFL season and they never fail to please. They are absolutely delicious and there are never any left over.
Karina says
Hi Danielle, I’m so glad to hear that you have been using this recipe for 3 years now that is amazing! Thank you so much for your feedback.
Chelsi Cash says
Worlds Best Ribs!
Isabel says
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.
Angelina Gonzalez says
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.
MG says
The best ribs recipe!
Hillary says
Sooooo gooood, I love the sauce because I hate how strong bbq sauce comes through when using it on its own as sauce for meat, so this was such a nice twist, absolutely loved it!!!! 😍😍😍
Sandi says
Fantastic recipe! I added a lil something to the rub and used bottled sauce, finished them on the grill. Awesome!
Camilla says
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!
Brian H says
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 ❤️👍😜
Wendy B Greene says
Fail proof, always a hit. thank you!
G says
Excellent recipe, I’ve made these about five times. Only thing I can add is that I drain the juices before the bbq sauce step. They come out lovely.
V says
Can I make my ribs if they are frozen?
Sarah says
Please could someone tell me how to make the BBQ sauce?
Alex says
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
Chuck says
Alex, try adding 1 tsp of liquid smoke to your sauce Recipe! You will be glad you did!
BBQ Man says
You take 5 dollars out of your wallet and purchase a bottle from the grocery store. Alternatively, you may use a credit card.
Sandy says
Funny!
Avia says
This recipe is the best. It never fails. I’ve used it 3 times now and will keep using it as my only pork rib recipe. So delicious! Thanks! My family loves it!

Zoe says
Always my go to oven baked ribs! Thanks, Karina! Your recipes is always a hit!
Katrina says
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!
Keeks says
Hi Karina!
I don’t have Worcestershire sauce. What do you recommend as a replacement?
Thank you!
Keeks
Rick says
Soy sauce
Brian H says
You can use a light soy sauce
Shayla M says
Howdy from Austin, TX!
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!!!!
Barbara Katona says
Superb!!
You have made my husband VERY HAPPY. I have been making ribs for many years and these are truly the best. Thank you so very much for this easy
and delicious recipe.
Massimo Saccomando says
The BBQ ribs were delicious now I finally have a great recipe that I can do over and over again. Thank you!
Pamela Sosenko says
I just want to “THANK YOU”. I discovered you just last year. I retires in Germany from California so your recipes gives me a touch of home. Coming from New Orleans I’m an avid cook and I must commend you on your clarity and ease of ALL your recipes I’ve tried.N Not to forget they’re absolutely DELICIOUS. So “Thank You” again.

Ka-Shanta says
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?
WW says
I unfortunately didn’t read this comment and chucked my ribs into the oven without covering in foil. ☹️
Karen says
She told you to Line the pan and also cover with foil. I suppose because you’re a cook you didnt read the
recipe properly
Jo says
Exactly!
Joanne says
Joanne from Burbank California. It says nothing about covering the ribs only to line the pan with foil.
Connie says
YES!!! This is the reason I was reading the comments to figure out if I had to cover the ribs. Thank you!!!!
tony says
Karina, it does say in the instruction segment to cover ribs with foil prior to putting them in the oven.
Naa says
This comment is great because I also almost misread and only realised that I had to cover the ribs too 20mins into cooking! They are still in the oven now so hopefully I saved them in time 😅
Dave says
thank you for commenting the part about covering the ribs in foil. That’s what I needed
Lisa says
Well I’ve never cooked ribs on my own, my ex would, so it was not clear to me to cover the ribs, I re-read after cooking uncovered for 30 minutes and covered for the rest of the time…lesson learned 🙂
Julie says
yes I covered the tray with foil but did not cover the meat…………we will see what happens
I’m basically getting ready to take it out and wondering how to take the foil off of the tray when there is meat on top of the foil.
Julie says
They turned out great. A little crispy on the end but still tender inside.
Will do again and hubby said if I do again leave the foil off.
We like burnt ends.
Stacy says
First time making ribs ever and this was a great recipe . They tasted great and were falling off the bone . Will definitely be using this recipe again .
Bradley D Tjapkes says
This is now my go to recipe but with some adjustments. I set the oven to 275 and bake for 3-3 1/2 hours. Other than that variation I follow the recipe. Best I have found!
jude says
I dont have olive oil, can i use regular cooking oil?
Karina says
Yes
Ashley Nagpal says
Hi, I notice you didn’t use any mustard powder or brown sugar in he dry rub.
Naa says
I added some brown sugar to my rub!
Deb says
Me to and some ground mustard.
Heidi says
Hello ! I had one question in which rack do you place the ribs in the oven?
Kerry says
Just made these for the second time. Yummy!
egle vysniauskaite says
was absolutely delicious, did not expect it to turn out to be so good. thumbs up
Dcash says
These were wonderful!! Next time I will reduce salt tho. I used a sugar free bbq sauce so I could stay within my keto diet!! I’ll be making these often!! Ty
Janiece says
I’ve been wanting to make bbq ribs for quite a while, so I picked some up at the commissary and google oven bbq ribs and found this recipe. These ribs are fabulous!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. This is definitely a keeper – God Bless You
Rachael says
Hi!
I have made ribs using this recipe twice now and it is a huge hit! I am using this recipe again to make ribs today, but I’m cook 2 racks of ribs instead of my usual 1 rack. Would I need to change the cooking time or temperature to cook 2 racks of ribs?
Thank you so much!
Ally says
You should be good to go, as is. A normal rack of ribs from the butcher is around 2 pounds, so for 4 pounds, it would be two racks. The recipe is already set up for 2 racks (about 4 pounds).
Michele says
Huge hit!!!! My family loved them!.
Brenda says
Made these tonight .. the recipe was PERFECT!! I did add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar to the rub to give it some sweetness and it was fabulous!! So tender, the meat fell off the bones! Will definitely cook our ribs this way again!
Joey says
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.
Monica Allen says
These were some of the absolute BEST ribs I’ve ever had! Thank you!
Suzanne K. says
These are fantastic! They converted my 16-year-old to now being a rib eater! My sister said they were the best she had ever eaten in her life. Thank you so much!
Ray Kohls says
Thank you for such a fantastic rib receipe! Best ever Karina! I had a great piece of meat and took a chance. Wow melt in your mouth. I added 3 tablespoons of brown sugar to the dry rub that was it. You know what your doing! Thanks Brenda & Ray
Ashley Nesbeth says
MY FAMILY & I LOVE YOUR RIBS!!! Thank you for such a yummy receipe! <3
Laura says
This recipe is fantastic!! We’ve made this four times in the last few months and every time, it’s just as delicious as before!! Thanks so much!!
Heather Wallenburg says
I usually find myself tweaking the recipe on things but these are unbelievable. I couldn’t believe how juicy and delicious there ribs turned out in the oven. Thank you for sharing!
Magie says
My boyfriend ate seconds and thirds. Thanks! This is the best oven ribs recipe I’ve used.
Sheila says
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.
AS says
I just made this today (4th of July) and my fiancé said it’s the best ribs ever ! So I just wanted to come back here to say thank you very much !
Beth says
The ribs were delicious and a big hit! Will be making these for our 4th of July cookout.
Mary says
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?
A Dubb says
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.
Becky says
So. I have regular spare ribs, not baby backs. Any suggestions on adapting the cooking time? Thanks!
Ray says
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
Suzanna says
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
Howard Bailey says
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 🐖
Howard Bailey says
I forgot to leave 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marina says
Made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe. Definitely gonna be making it again !
Sarah says
Hi ! I’m making these ribs now- can’t wait to try them! I only have 2lbs of ribs? What do you recommend for cooking time?
David Gale says
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.
MM says
What brand of bbq sauce did you guys use?
Becky says
My family loved these! It was easy to make, very tender, and I will defiantly make them again.
Neil McK says
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
Jennifer M says
So true! Made my own sauce and added a good amount of Irish 😁
Frani Olson says
I had the same question s another cook. Is it ok to have two pans in the oven? Does it change the cooking time? Should I swap the pans halfway through?
Martye N says
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!
Roci says
Omg… i just made these yesterday and my fam loved them… the ribs were sooo tender and juice they just fell of the bone… def a new fav…
Nikao says
Can I use garlic powder for the sauce?
Will says
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.
Tasha says
How many servings is the nutrition information for?
Yovana says
Loved this recipe! First time making Ribs!! Don’t judge me. Ribs came out amazing, from the seasonings to the BBQ sauce , husband was surprised and amazed!! Will be trying to again!
Suzy says
I am not a very good cook but I made these and they were DELICIOUS!!!
Will 100% make them again and again. Even my kids loved them.
Great recipe and thanks for sharing 🙂
Lindsay says
Used my own rub for the initial 2 hours.
Definitely love this cooking method.
Trying it again tonight!
Magda says
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.
Karina says
Hi Magda. I use Heinz or Masterfoods!
Sara says
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.
Jag says
Delicious! Fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!
Robert Jannicelli says
Doing the ribs this way a second time….BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME WAS A HUGE HIT!!!!
Mary Ann says
We had these delicious ribs today. Next time I will pull the membranes off. Thanks for the recipe!
Jan Seabaugh says
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!
Karina says
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.
Jan says
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.
Karina says
I’m so glad Jan!
Monica says
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.
Ashleigh says
Would you believe I made these for Christmas dinner with sides of roasted tomatoes/garlic and string beans with almond/lemon zest in brown butter. Was a HUGE hit – declared my family’s favorite ribs ever. Thank you!
Benjamin says
I just have a question doesn’t matter if the ribs are boneless or do they have to be born in for this recipe
Karina says
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!
Kyle says
This was a question I had as well. Trying tonight with boneless country style pork ribs only 2 lb not 4. Lol. May wish I had 4 pounds by the time I get through
Lynn says
Just double checking – do you cover the ribs with aluminum foil in oven method or just place on aluminum foil ?
Karina says
Hello Lynn!
The best way that I have found is to just place the ribs on the aluminum. Thanks so much for giving this a try and for following along with me! xo
Telsa says
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.
BRIAN HERBST says
Seriously the best ribs I’ve made in the oven. And great for when you’re short in time..
David Thompson says
Made these a few weeks ago and they were awesome! The recipe Is now in our E-Family cookbook. We will make this again without any changes.
keith says
I just made these ribs and they were slammin. The sauce was rediculous. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I made these for the first time ever and literally almost all 6lbs of ribs was pretty much gone! Definitely keeping this recipe in my rotation! Thank you!!

Excellent!! The ribs developed a perfect outer crisp while retaining all the fall of the bone tenderness!! Yummm

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.
