We've just finished eating dinner and the BBQ ribs were SO GOOD that I had to come post the recipe before I forgot. These are fall-off-the-bone-tender. And the best part is they can be made ahead of time.
Heat oven to 400. Take a large rack of baby back ribs. Rinse and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Wrap tightly in tin foil, put on baking sheet, and bake for 1.5 hours. (This is a great time to also throw a couple of potatoes in the oven with them, then make a quick salad, and voila, dinner is 95% finished) If you're making these a day ahead of time, take them out of the oven and refrigerate at this point. Otherwise, unwrap from the tin foil, brush on your favorite BBQ sauce (I like Kraft Honey BBQ Sauce) and grill on medium high for 10-15 minutes until the BBQ sauce is nicely caramelized onto the ribs (or until hot all the way through if you refrigerated them). Serves 2 adults and one 4 year old in our family, might serve more or less depending on how much your family likes ribs.
Happy Eating!
