    Easy Oven Baked Ribs

    Jump to Recipe Pin for Later

    Use your oven to make perfect pork ribs every time! This oven baked ribs recipe means no grill or smoker necessary to make melt in your mouth BBQ ribs.

    Oven baked ribs

    We have a grill and a smoker, and I know how to use both...but sometimes I just don't feel like soaking wood chips and going in and out of the house all day to tend to some BBQ ribs.  I love this recipe for Easy Oven Baked Ribs for that very reason!

    BAKED PORK RIBS

    When I make ribs, it's always pork ribs.  There are different types of pork ribs such as baby back ribs, spareribs, and St. Louis style ribs.  This recipe will work for every type of pork ribs...the cook time will just be longer for larger racks of ribs.

    HOW TO BAKE RIBS

    Before you get started with baking the ribs, you need to remove the silver skin from the back of the rack.  The silver skin is a tough layer of skin on the bony side of the rack.

    Here is a great video showing how to remove the silver skin:

    After removing that tough skin, pat the ribs dry and then apply the dry rub on all sides of the ribs.  I used my own BBQ Rib Rub which I think is pretty darn good.  It uses common kitchen ingredients.

    Make sure you pat the rub into the meat so it forms a nice crust.

    To bake these ribs, were going to place them on a rack, and were going to bake them for about 2 hours.  Halfway through the baking we are going to wrap them with foil so they don't dry out.

    This was a smaller rack of ribs and 2 hours was the perfect time.  For larger racks, you would need to let them go for 3 hours.

    HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE RIBS ARE DONE?

    I like to poke a knife or a toothpick in the thickest part of the ribs.  If it slides in with no resistance, the ribs are done.

    Now its time to sauce them up!  I remove the foil, layer on the BBQ sauce, and put them under the broiler until the sauce starts to bubble.  About 5 minutes.

    Then I add another layer of sauce and cut the ribs.  The easiest way to know where to cut the ribs is to have the bony side up.  Then you can see where all of the bones are and I just cut between each one.

    Ingredients

    • 1-2 Racks Pork Ribs
    • BBQ Rib Rub
    • BBQ Sauce (Click here for the one I love)
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat the oven to 300F.  Remove the ribs from the packaging and carefully remove the silver skin.  
    • Prepare a baking sheet with a rack, and you can line the baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.  Place the ribs on the rack and coat the ribs with the rub on all sides.  Be sure to pat the run in to form a crust.
    • Cook the ribs in the oven for 2-3 hours.  For small racks, like baby backs, 2 hours should be sufficient.  Halfway through cooking, carefully wrap the rack with foil.
    • When the ribs are finished cooking, a knife or a toothpick should pierce the thickest part of the ribs with ease.  Remove the foil.
    • Set the oven broiler to HI.  Coat all sides of the ribs with BBQ sauce and place back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the sauce starts to bubble.  
    • Let rest for 10 minutes and serve with extra sauce on the side.  
    Servings: 4

      These are the BEST ribs! My husband is a total rib guy, and he asks me to make them whenever he’s craving BBQ. Thank you for the great recipe. So good!

      Curious if I need to transport them, should I put the sauce on as it’s cooling and then broil when I get there or, bbq sauce when I get there?

      Came out perfectly. Made a few adjustments. I started in foil with three or four ice cubes on top to steam and keep moist. My Venezuelan friend taught me this. At end added sauce and continued recipe as is. Great rub. Great flavor. So tender. Will use as my go to rib recipe.

      It is just too cold to grill at the moment and finding this recipe came at just the right time. Instead of grilling our ribs we used your recipe and baked them - they were fabulous! So tender and juicy - thank you!
