“Ultimate Guide to Tender and Juicy Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs: Easy Recipe for Fall-Off-the-Bone Goodness”
BBQ Ribs Recipe: A Quick and Easy Delight
Hello, beautiful family! 🎉 Welcome to the heart of my home, my kitchen! Today, I’m excited to kick off 2025 by sharing a delicious and easy recipe for BBQ ribs inspired by my husband’s classic smoked version. While he usually takes several hours to smoke these ribs, I’ve simplified the process, ensuring they’re just as juicy and tender but with a much shorter cooking time. Trust me, these ribs will leave you asking for more, with only bones left behind! 😅
Ingredients You’ll Need
To craft this succulent dish, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 racks baby back ribs
- 4-5 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp coarse salt
- 2 tsp coarse black pepper
- 2 tsp chipotle powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- Liquid smoke or mustard for flavor
- 1/2 cup choice of dark soda or apple juice, divided
- 8 tbsp butter
- Honey for sweetness
- Extra brown sugar for garnish
- Your favorite BBQ sauce
- A serving of love! 💕
Tip for Preparation
When preparing these ribs, be sure to remove any excess liquid before applying the BBQ sauce. This step is crucial for achieving a rich, caramelized flavor.
Cooking Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (about 150°C).
Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.
Season the Ribs: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, salt, black pepper, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano. Rub this mixture onto the ribs generously.
Add Liquid Flavor: Brush the ribs with liquid smoke or mustard and drizzle half of the dark soda or apple juice to add moisture.
Wrap and Bake: Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.
Glaze with BBQ Sauce: Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Brush your favorite BBQ sauce over the ribs and return them to the oven for an additional 30 minutes uncovered to caramelize.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once done, let the ribs rest for a few minutes. Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping!
Key Takeaways
- Juicity Guaranteed: The combination of sugars and seasonings makes these ribs juicy and flavorful.
