Instructions

  1. Optional: Remove the ribs from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F, placing the oven rack in the middle position. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  3. Peel off the silverskin membrane from the underside of the ribs, using a paring knife if needed to help detach it from the ribs.
  4. Place the ribs meat side down in the prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake for one hour.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Flip the ribs so the meat side is facing up. Then brush sauce all over the meat.
  6. Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and place them back in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes more before starting to check doneness. Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the ribs, and remove from the oven once it reads 180-195°F (see note).
  7. Let the ribs rest in the pan covered with foil for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • While the USDA states that ribs are safe to eat at 145°F, they may be less tender than you would like so it’s best to keep cooking longer when possible.
