This is truly the ONLY rib recipe you will ever need. Ribs simply don't get any better than this! You'll need a fork and knife to eat these, as they will FALL OFF THE BONE. . .tastier than you can imange. And they couldn't be easier, just throw them in the oven and you are good to go. . .just make sure you have some of your favorite BBQ sauce on hand!

SERVES 4 -6 , 1/3 rack of ribs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 baby back rib racks (our favorite are baby back ribs, but this works well with St. Louis style ribs too)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
  2. 2
    Season your ribs with Dale's, your favorite rib rub, grill seasoning, or simply salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    Place ribs, meat side down, in baking dishes.
  4. 4
    Cover the baking dishes with aluminum foil and place in the oven.
  5. 5
    If you are using small baby back ribs, take out after 3.5 hours. If you are using regular baby back or St. Louis style ribs, then take out after 4 hours.
  6. 6
    Drain off the drippings. Flip the ribs over using two spatulas (and an extra set of hands if you have them) so the meat side is up. Be careful, as they may be so tender they fall apart.
  7. 7
    Put a layer of BBQ sauce on the ribs and return to the oven uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes.
  8. 8
    Remove from oven and serve them up with a side of potato salad and some baked beans.

I didn't have 4 1/2 hrs so I took one reader's suggestion and increased the temp to 300 deg F. It took 3 1/2 hrs to get them fork tender. Since the baking sheet had about 1/4" liquid on it, I put a layer of foil on a clean baking sheet and flipped each rack onto it with the help of my son holding the clean baking sheet. I slathered on over a cup of Moe Pritchett's BBQ sauce and baked for 15 min. Then slathered on another cup or so of BBQ sauce and baked for another 15 min. The second layer sticks better than the first.

    this recipe gets 5 stars because it came together exactly as written. I had to order these ribs, as we dont have them in Australia, our pork ribs have no bone, and much more meat. I ordered 2kg, about 5.5lb, and 2 of us ate most of them in one sitting. I think I would love this recipe using the aussie ribs, as I feel there was too much bone, and very little meat That is not the fault of the recipe, which (as I said) came together very well. oct 09 recipe swap

    I love ribs cooked like this when I can't grill and have to use the oven! So easy to prepare and the smell of them cooking throughout the afternoon just makes you even more hungry! They're tender, falling off the bone if you're not careful when removing and oh so tasty! Thanks for posting!

    I have been making my ribs this way for 20 years, they will always be perfect! You can turn the oven up to 300 degrees and bake for 3 hours with the same results. The best (fall off the bone) ribs!
