BabyBack Ribs

2. Preheat Your Oven or Grill:

  • If using an oven, preheat it to 275°F (135°C).
  • If grilling, prepare your grill for indirect heat, aiming for a similar temperature.

3. Cook the Ribs:

  • Oven Method: Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or a wire rack. Cover the ribs with more foil to create a sealed packet. Bake for about 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.
  • Grill Method: Place the ribs, meat-side up, on the cooler part of the grill. Cover and cook, maintaining a low heat (around 275°F) for about 2-3 hours.

4. Apply the Barbecue Sauce:

  • In the last 30 minutes of cooking, apply your favorite barbecue sauce generously over the ribs if desired. If using an oven, remove the cover so the sauce can caramelize. On a grill, turn the ribs every 10 minutes to prevent burning and to build up a nice glaze.

5. Serve:

  • Once done, let the ribs rest for about 10 minutes. Then, cut between the bones to separate them into individual ribs.
  • Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side and your favorite sides, like coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans.

Enjoy your delicious, tender baby back ribs!
