BBQ PORK RIBS IN THE OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Season the ribs well with salt and pepper and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and fitted with a baking rack. For Bone-in, dry-roast for 90 minutes, uncovered. [See Note 3]For Boneless, cover with foil and bake for 90 minutes. [See Notes 1 & 2]
• Meanwhile, combine all of the BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until dark, thick, and richly flavored 10 to 15 minutes.Pour off any abundance of grease that has collected in the pan.
• After 90 minutes, remove the baking tray from the oven and carefully pour off any abundance of liquid and oil that has collected in the pan. [See Note 4]
• Next, increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Baste the ribs with BBQ sauce and return, uncovered, to the oven.
• Continue basting in 30-minute intervals, turning the ribs each time you baste with sauce. After 90 minutes, the meat will begin to fall apart it's so tender – you’ll notice this when you turn the ribs during basting.
• Once the ribs are tender, increase the oven to broil. While the oven heats, baste the ribs one last time before returning to the oven.
• Broil the ribs for a minute or two just to caramelize the sauce. The sugars in the sauce can char fast so be sure to stay close to the oven during the broiling process.
• Serve with your favorite BBQ sides like mac n cheese, cole slaw, or potato salad.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare 1 large sheet of tin foil to cover the bottom, sides, and top of a 13-by 9-inch baking dish. Place the foil covering the bottom and sides of the with the edges standing upright. (See Tip).
• Cut ribs into 4 equal pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle onion powder and garlic powder over ribs. Using your hands, rub seasonings into ribs. Arrange ribs in foil-lined baking dish. Add 3 tbsp water to the bottom of the dish.
• If using garlic cloves, cut small slits in between ribs (do not cut all the way through). Insert garlic slices in slits. If using bay leaves, arrange alongside ribs.
• Fold foil into a tent-shaped packet over the ribs.
• Bake ribs for 55 minutes. Carefully open top of the foil packet, letting steam escape. Baste ribs with barbecue sauce until just covered. Set aside remaining barbecue sauce. Do not reseal foil packet.
• Bake with foil packet open, 15 minutes or until ribs are fork-tender and sauce is caramelized. Remove from the oven, lightly close the top of the foil and let stand 10 minutes. Transfer to serving plates and serve with remaining BBQ sauce.
