    How to cook boneless pork ribs

    This boneless pork rib recipe uses low and slow heat to create the most tender ribs ever! You can set these oven baked ribs late at night and wake up with only the final finishing with your favorite barbecue sauce!

    Look for country style pork ribs, or buy a picnic and slice it up in strips.

    Bake boneless pork ribs low & slow

    1. I prefer to use a turkey roasting bag, as it keeps the ribs from drying out. After cooking, you will let them sit to drain and the surfaces will dry enough for barbecue sauce to adhere.
    2. My favorite way to bake boneless pork ribs is to put them in the roasting bag about 10:30 or 11 PM before heading to bed. Start with a cold oven, put your pan of ribs in, then set the oven to 225 degrees F. When you get up in the morning the low & slow baking phase is complete!

    Rest after baking

    1. Remove pan from oven. Pierce the turkey roasting bag, taking care not to get burned from any steam.
    2. Remove the boneless pork ribs from the roasting bag, and set on a rack inside a baking pan. Let them cool completely! This will allow the surfaces to not be so wet, and your barbeque sauce will stick better.

    Coat with barbecue sauce

    1. After letting cool, brush the pork ribs with your favorite barbeque sauce. For a true Kentucky barbecue, try our Knob Creek Kentucky Bourbon BBQ Sauce recipe. Brush on and let bake low & slow again so that the barbecue sauce cooks on. Baste another coating for exceptionally flavorful boneless BBQ ribs!

    Crisp the Ribs

    1. Keep temps low enough to dry the barbeque sauce, so you can build up a couple coatings and not have it burn. Turn the heat up on the last coating to get crispy edges on your oven baked boneless pork ribs!

    Serving suggestions

    These tender BBQ country style boneless pork ribs are perfect either finished in the oven, or on an outdoor grill. Fruit or potato salads, corn on the cob, or coleslaw are all excellent side dish options.

    Our recipe for Red Hot & Blue Potato salad would be the perfect potato salad choice, as there is no mayonnaise to worry about on hot summer days! Another delicious side dish is Sauteed Spinach & Onions, Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Sweet Potatoes or our Easy Instant Pot Mac and Cheese!

    Substitutions

    This low & slow oven baking technique works with full racks of pork ribs, beef short ribs, and even full sides of bone in beef ribs. The key is to tenderize these tough meats with hot moisture. The turkey roasting bag makes clean up a snap also!

    Equipment

    • 1 turkey roasting bag
    • 1 baking pan with rack

    The oven roasting bag allows for hotter moisture and reduces the cook time by about 2 to 3 hours. They also make clean up super easy. The deep baking or roasting pan should have a rack to lift the ribs up out of any juices. This allows the barbeque sauce to stay on the ribs and get crispy on the edges.

    Top Tips

    • Low and slow cooking make the most tender ribs.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I make these up ahead of time?

    Yes, you can bake the ribs up to three days before basting with barbecue sauce and finishing in the oven, or a outdoor grill. Keep temps low so the meat reheats slowly and does not dry out.

    Can I cook chicken the same way?

    No, chicken will not work with this extended time low & slow baking method. This method breaks down the tough muscles on ribs, but chicken would fall apart.

    • Remove baking pan from oven. Pierce roasting bag, careful of the steam, and gently transfer ribs to a rack placed inside a roasting pan. Let cool completely.
    • Baste the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce. Return to oven on low and let the barbecue sauce dry partially. Repeat basting one or two more times.
    • For crispy edges turn the oven heat up to 350 and let the final basting cook for 10 minutes to crisp up or blacken edges.

    Notes

    • Use a turkey roasting bag for the initial bake!
    • Let the ribs rest before basting with barbecue sauce. The sauce will stick much better.
