Oven Barbecue Ribs
Description
Oven Barbecue Ribs start with removing the rib membrane and seasoning the meat generously with a dry rub containing brown sugar, mustard powder, smoked paprika, garlic, onion powders, and a mix of warm spices like cinnamon and cayenne. Baking the ribs covered at 300°F for 2.5 to 3 hours gently breaks down connective tissue, resulting in very tender meat.
The barbecue sauce composed of ketchup, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, and chili sauce is brushed on near the end. Setting the oven to broil caramelizes this glaze, creating a sticky, flavorful crust that contrasts with the tender interior.
These ribs can be served as a main course for barbecue meals, accompanied by traditional sides like coleslaw or corn on the cob. The process suits home cooks wanting tender ribs without grill access, using straightforward oven techniques and homemade sauces.
