- 1-2 racks of baby back ribs
- your favorite dry run
- your favorite BBQ sauce
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Season the ribs with your favorite dry rub or marinade. Wrap them tightly in aluminum foil to create a packet.
Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours.
This slow cooking will make the meat tender and juicy.
Finishing on the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 350°F to 400°F).
Unwrap the ribs and brush them with barbecue sauce on both sides.
Grill the ribs directly over the heat for about 5 minutes per side, basting with more sauce as needed.
This step adds a smoky flavor and caramelizes the sauce.
Rest and Serve:
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Cooking BBQ Ribs in the oven ensures tenderness, while the grill adds grill marks and smokiness.
