Oven Baked BBQ Pork Ribs
- 1 rack Country Pork Ribs
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup Liquid Smoke
- 1 recipe Barbecue Spice Rub
- 1 recipe Barbecue Sauce
This recipe is easier than you might think. It’s worth a try and worth the credit you will get from your football-crazy friends and family.
Preheat the oven to 300F.
Line a half sheet pan with foil.
Pour the vinegar and liquid smoke in a small container.
Place the ribs on the lined sheet pan. Peel off the silverskin (thick white fat on the back side) of the ribs. Another option is to instead cut slits in the silverskin and poke holes in it with a steak knife.
Use a pastry brush to coat the ribs with the vinegar mixture on both sides.
Coat the ribs on both sides with the Barbecue Spice Rub. Turn them so the bottom side is up.
Cover the ribs with foil and pop them in the oven for two hours.
Remove them from the oven, reduce the oven heat to 275F, and remove the foil from off the top of the ribs.
Brush the back side liberally with the Barbecue Sauce. Place them back in the oven uncovered gir 30 minutes.
Remove them from the oven again. Carefully flip the ribs over and brush the top liberally with Barbecue Sauce. Place them back into the oven for another 30 minutes.
Remove the ribs from the oven. When finished, the ribs will be bubbling with steamy goodness and ready to eat – coated with the lovely, sticky BBQ sauce.
Let the ribs rest 20-30 minutes and then cut in between the bones. Plate and serve!
Grilling Ribs
For barbecuing, turn the grill on medium heat. Cook ribs until the middles reach at least 145°F when tested with a meat thermometer and they are fall-apart tender.
Brush sauce over meat a few minutes before it’s finished cooking so the sugars in the sauce don’t instigate burning.
Leftover sauce can be saved and served on anything you like as long as it hasn’t come in contact with raw meat
Perfectly perfect served with cornbread muffins or scalloped potatoes or coleslaw. And rolls of paper towels. And preferably while using your best Southern accent.
