Oven baked BBQ pork ribs using my homemade dry rub recipe. They are slow cooked in the oven for 3 hours before being smothered in a made from scratch BBQ sauce making them melt in your mouth delicious!
Sprinkle the BBQ spice rub all over the rib racks and rub into the meat using your hands making sure to coat the ribs evenly. Wrap the racks of ribs in tinfoil, or place them in a baking dish and cover in tinfoil and bake for around 3 hours. They will be ready after 2 & ½ hours but the extra 30 minutes makes them fall apart which is what you want.
Remove from the oven 15 minutes before you want to serve them and uncover or unwrap.
For dry ribs: Use a pastry brush to baste the ribs with the cooking juices from the pan. Cook for a further 15 minutes.
For BBQ ribs: Use a pastry brush to baste the ribs with BBQ sauce. Cook for a further 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce and lots of paper towels!
BBQ Sauce
Add all ingredients to a small pot and bring to the boil, stirring occassionally. Once the sauce comes to the boil, let it simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Set aside until ready to brush on the ribs or serve as a dipping sauce. Sauce will keep in the fridge for a few weeks.
