After you have picked your rub, pour 1 cup of spice rub into a small bowl. Place the ribs on a large cutting board, meaty side up. Gently shake the dry rub on the ribs, being sure to cover the top side completely. Next, massage the rub into the ribs. I like to use rubber gloves when rubbing down my ribs.

Next, get a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, large enough to wrap the ribs completely. Place the parchment-covered rack of ribs in the center of the foil. Carefully fold the foil, forming a tight seal around the rack of ribs. Allow the ribs to sit for 30 minutes to infuse the rub’s flavor into your meat.

Baking Ribs In The Oven So They Fall Off The Bone

Place the wrapped rack of ribs on a large baking sheet. If your cut of ribs has a good bit of fat, use a baking dish with at least 2-inch sides, just in case the juice from the ribs seeps out while cooking. Place your ribs on the middle position rack of a preheated 275-degree oven. Go to Intentional Hospitality for complete instructions.

Sauce The Ribs

This step is optional. The ribs are great when seasoned with just the dry rub but if you like saucy ribs, follow these steps. To sauce ribs, unwrap the ribs just enough to expose the rack’s top. Cover the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce with a BBQ sauce brush. I like using my homemade bbq sauce, Spicy Citrus BBQ Sauce, or my Bacon and Whiskey BBQ Sauce.
