Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds baby back ribs (2 slabs)
  • 2 onions (sliced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ cup BBQ Sauce
  • ½ cup chili sauce or additional BBQ sauce (*see note)
  • ¼ cup ketchup

Instruction:

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F. Mix together Rib Rub ingredients if using.
  2. Remove the white membrane from the back side of the ribs (the side with less meat). It should pull off easily. Pat the ribs dry and check for little bone shards or pieces.
  3. Season the ribs with salt and pepper or sprinkle generously with the rub and massage it into the ribs.
  4. Place ribs on a foil-lined tray, the meaty side down, and cover with sliced onion and garlic. 
  5. Cover & seal with another piece of foil.
  6. Bake ribs for 2 hours. Carefully open the corner of the sealed foil and pull a small piece of meat off to ensure the ribs are tender. If not, bake another 20-30 minutes and check again.
  7. Meanwhile, combine BBQ Rib Sauce ingredients together.
  8. Remove ribs and discard juices, onions & garlic. Brush ribs with olive oil and brush generously with BBQ sauce.
  9. Grill or broil over medium high heat 5-10 minutes or until charred.

FAQ

Is it better to cook ribs in the oven or grill?

The only way to make succulent, fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs is to bake them first in the oven, then finish cooking them on the grill while dousing them in a sticky, homemade BBQ sauce, of course.

How long do I cook ribs before grilling?

While baking has some advantages over BBQing, baking gives you more control over how quickly and how much the ribs cook, making it less likely that you will overcook or undercook your ribs. BBQing gives ribs a distinctive flavor.

How long does it take to cook ribs in a oven?

Typically, pre-cooking ribs in the oven for about an hour is sufficient to cook the meat thoroughly, soften the tough meat, and produce tender, juicy bites.
