Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs, trimmed)
  • 1 tablespoon Salt (kosher or sea salt works well)
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Your favorite BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. Pat ribs dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Press the seasoning in so it adheres.
  3. Place ribs meat-side up on a baking sheet. Tightly cover the ribs with aluminum foil, sealing the edges to prevent steam from escaping.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 2½ to 3 hours until the meat is very tender.
  2. Carefully remove the foil and brush a thick, even layer of BBQ sauce over the ribs.
  3. Switch your oven to Broil/High and return the ribs to the oven for 5–7 minutes, watching closely until the sauce bubbles and caramelizes.
Serving
  1. Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes, then slice between the bones and serve warm with additional sauce on the side.

Notes

For variations, you can mix BBQ sauce with honey and a pinch of cayenne for a sweet-spicy glaze. Remember to remove the membrane for better tenderness.
