🔪 HOW TO MAKE RIBS IN THE OVEN

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to 350F/180C. Next, get your baking pan ready by lining it with aluminum foil.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the rub. Mix them together until they are well blended. Now, take your ribs and rub this mixture all over them, making sure to cover both sides.

Step 3

Place the prepared ribs on the baking pan, with the meat side facing downwards. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and let it bake for approximately two hours.

Step 4

After two hours, remove the pan from the oven, flip the ribs, and let them bake for ten minutes.

Step 5

Brush your ribs with the BBQ sauce (recipe provided below) and place them under the broiler for about five minutes. This will help to caramelize the BBQ sauce, adding a delicious layer of flavor to your ribs.

Step 6

In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce. Cook this mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil. Continue to cook for an additional five minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve the BBQ ribs in oven with your homemade BBQ sauce.

👩🏽‍🍳 PRO TIPS

Properly prepare your ribs: Make sure to remove the membrane from the ribs before applying the rub. This will allow the flavors to penetrate more deeply into the meat.

Mix your rub thoroughly: Make sure that all your rub ingredients are well combined. This will give your ribs a consistent flavor all over.

Don't rush the baking: Allow your ribs to bake for the full two hours before flipping them. This slow cooking process will make the meat tender and juicy.

Make your own BBQ sauce: Preparing your own BBQ sauce gives you control over the flavor and sweetness. Adjust the ingredients to your liking.

Don't skip the broiling step: Broiling your ribs for the final five minutes helps to caramelize the BBQ sauce and gives your ribs a beautiful, delicious finish.

📋 VARIATIONS

Try Asian Flavors: For a change of pace, try adding some Asian flavors. Include a tablespoon of soy sauce and a teaspoon of ginger powder to the rub. This will give your BBQ ribs a delicious Asian twist.

Make it Smoky: If you love a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of liquid smoke to your BBQ sauce. This will give your ribs that campfire taste, even if they're cooked in the oven.

Heat it Up: If you enjoy a bit of heat in your BBQ ribs, add a teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the rub. This will give your ribs a nice kick, perfect for those who love spicy food.

🍽️ HOW TO SERVE

• Elevate your BBQ ribs experience by pairing it with a side of creamy coleslaw. The crunchiness of the coleslaw provides a delicious contrast to the tender ribs.
• For a hearty meal, serve your BBQ ribs with a side of mashed potatoes. The smooth and buttery texture of the potatoes compliments the bold flavors of the ribs.
• BBQ ribs in the oven also pair wonderfully with classic Southern cornbread. The sweetness of the cornbread enhances the savory flavors of the ribs, making for a satisfying meal.
• If you're in the mood for a comfort food feast, serve your BBQ ribs with a side of homemade mac and cheese. The creamy, cheesy pasta is a perfect match for the smoky ribs.

🌡️ STORING

Refrigerate: Once your BBQ ribs have cooled, place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in aluminum foil. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Freeze: Unfortunately, BBQ ribs don't freeze well due to the high fat content which can separate and result in a texture change when thawed. It is best to enjoy your ribs within the refrigerator storage time.

Reheating Instructions: When you're ready to enjoy your ribs again, preheat your oven to a low temperature - around about the same temperature you initially cooked them at. Spread the ribs out on a baking tray and reheat for about ten minutes, or until they're hot all the way through.
