- Place bag of ribs in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 225°F for about 3-5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F with an internal thermometer.
- Remove baking pan from oven. Pierce roasting bag, careful of the steam, and drain off any broth. 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.1 cup barbecue sauce
- For crispy, caramelized edges turn the oven heat up to 350℉ and let the final basting cook for 10 minutes to crisp up or blacken edges.
Notes
- Trim Excess Fat: While some fat adds flavor, remove any large, thick pieces of fat from your ribs. This prevents the final dish from being overly greasy and allows the sauce to better adhere.
- Use a Dry Rub First: Before adding any liquid or sauce, generously apply a dry rub to your ribs and let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or even a few hours in the refrigerator. This builds a foundational layer of flavor and helps create a delicious crust.
- Cover Tightly for Tenderness: For the initial cooking phase in the oven, cover your baking dish or pan tightly with aluminum foil. This traps steam, ensuring the ribs cook down to be incredibly tender and moist.
- Bake Low and Slow: Patience is key for tender ribs. Cook them at a lower temperature (e.g., 300-325°F or 150-160°C) for a longer duration. This breaks down the connective tissues slowly, resulting in fall-apart meat.
- Uncover and Glaze at the End: Once the ribs are tender, remove the foil and generously brush them with your favorite BBQ sauce. Continue baking uncovered for the last 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce caramelizes and thickens, creating a sticky, flavorful glaze.
