How To Make Oven Baked Ribs

STEP ONE – Preheat oven to 300 degrees F

STEP TWO – In a small bowl combine all the dry ingredients.  Set aside.

STEP THREE – Unwrap ribs. Using a small knife, remove the thin membrane along the back side of the ribs. A paper towel will help get a hold of the membrane. 

STEP FOUR – Next, rub half of the dry mixture on the back side of the ribs.  Flip them over and place on a sheet of aluminum foil, rub in the remaining mixture on the top of the ribs.  Wrap them in aluminum foil.

STEP FIVE – Coat a 12 x 15 baking pan with non-stick spray and line with aluminum foil (for easier clean-up). Place a cooling rack on top (for air circulation).  Place wrapped ribs on rack and place in the oven.

STEP SIX – Cook for 3 hours. 

STEP SEVEN – Remove from oven and carefully unwrap the top of the foil.

Baked ribs are brushed with bbq sauce after roasting.

STEP EIGHT – Change oven setting to broil.

STEP NINE – Brush the tops of the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. Place ribs under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.  Watch CAREFULLY  because they can quickly go from crispy to burnt.
