This oven method delivers tender, juicy BBQ ribs with a smoky, sticky sauce without needing a grill. Perfect for Father’s Day or any indoor BBQ occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 racks pork baby back ribs (3–4 pounds / 1.4–1.8 kg), trimmed
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (60ml)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (240ml), your favorite brand

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
  3. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to make the dry rub.
  4. Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat. Let rest for 10-15 minutes at room temperature or up to an hour in the fridge wrapped.
  5. Place each rack on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. Pour 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar over each rack and seal the foil tightly to create a pouch.
  6. Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and starts pulling away from the bones.
  7. Carefully remove ribs from the oven, open the foil (watch for steam), and drain any excess liquid.
  8. Brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce on both sides of the ribs.
  9. Set oven to broil on high and return ribs uncovered for 5-7 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and bubbles, watching closely to prevent burning.
  10. Let ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the bones. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes

Double-wrap foil if heavy-duty foil is unavailable to prevent leaks. Removing the membrane is crucial for tenderness. Apple cider vinegar splash inside foil pouch keeps ribs moist. Watch broil step carefully to avoid burning the sauce. Can prepare ribs ahead by applying rub and wrapping overnight.
