Baked Barbecue Ribs

Baked Barbecue Ribs

I took my kids to the grocery store after I picked them up from school to pick up some things for dinner. I planned on making barbecue chicken breasts but they both saw the ribs and asked me to make baked barbecue ribs instead. I seasoned them simply then wrapped them in foil and baked them for an hour. I unwrapped the ribs then slathered them in barbecue sauce and put them back in the oven to bake for another hour. The ribs turned out tender and so flavorful. We all enjoyed them – especially my husband who took the leftovers to work today. I served these ribs with the Roasted Asparagus with Garlicky Italian Panko and a spinach side dish.

How to Make Baked Barbecue Ribs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil (for easier clean-up).

Remove the silverskin membrane from the back of the ribs. See how to do it here.

Spread the minced garlic evenly over both sides of the ribs. Season, to taste, with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly over both sides of the ribs.

Place the seasoned ribs on a large piece of foil then top with another piece of foil to roll all of the edges to make a sealed packet. Before sealing the packet completely, pour the chicken broth under the pork ribs; finish sealing.  Place on the baking sheet and into the oven and bake for 1 hour.

Carefully, open the top of the tin foil packed ribs then slather with your favorite barbecue sauce. Place back into the oven, unwrapped, for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board.

Let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing them and serving. Enjoy.

  1. I’ve never made my own ribs because it seemed like it was a hard process, but this is so easy! Totally making them this weekend 🙂

  2. Yum! I have never made ribs because I just thought that for some reason they would take too long and be too complicated, but this I could totally do. Thanks!

    1. I’m going to try to make them tonight. I sure hope they taste as good as they look. Thank- you for putting it in. I’ll right and let everyone no how they turn out.

    1. Pam, want to try this recipe but I saw you used baby back ribs.
      Can regular size ribs follow this recipe, as well?

    2. Diane,

      I’ve never made these ribs with regular sized. I am sure it would work just fine but you may need more cooking time. Let me know how they turn out.

  3. BBQ ribs are always a huge hit! I don’t wrap mine; I just put them tightly in a baking dish and cover them well. Sometimes it’s nice when the kids pick out something a little different for dinner, isn’t it?

  4. Ribs ribs ribs, I love ribs.
    To quote the great Harry Carey, “Hey! If the moon was made out of spare ribs, would you eat it? I know I would.”

  5. Made these for dinner tonight. Not only were they a breeze to make, but so juicy and tender and tasty! I also made the panko asparagus, I never want to eat asparagus any other way. Once again, For the Love of Cooking is responsible for another dining success!

  6. guess what my favorite aspect of this is…if you said the saucy glaze, you’re right! i love me some sweet baby ray’s. 🙂

  7. This is my third time making these – a Father’s day request! Going to serve with pasta with pesto and a green salad with poppy seed dressing. MMMMM!

  8. these ribs were great!! and so easy to prepare!! I’ve made ribs in the oven before and it always took a long time to bake!! I will definitely make these again and again!! my family loved them! thank you for allowing us to have ribs any time!!
    I originally baked them and then had to leave them in the refrigerator for a couple of days before we were able to eat them and I think that really intensified the flavor of the BBQ sauce and the ribs! SOOOO GOOOD!! YUM!

  9. You got to try this recipe, it’s the easiest and most delicious one ever!!! My husband loves the ribs, but I just don’t like to make it, because all the recipes I’ve tried are all taking so much time for preparation and cooking. This turns out easy and yummy!!!

  10. Ribs were delicious with great flavor. This was the easiest recipe! Made them tonight with blanched asparagus and white rice. Thanks for the recipe!

  11. Love this recipe. I make it this way often. Also sometimes use electric pressure cooker when pinched for time that method works, but this recipe outshines the other method

  12. I know this photo is pretty old, but any chance you have the amazon link as to where to buy the knife? i’m looking to replace the same one.

  13. 4 stars
    Whenever I want to thaw meat, I always use cold tap water. Cover it, change the water every 30 minutes until thawed. I thawed some bacon yesterday, and it only took about 20 minutes in the water. I would imagine that ribs would only be 30-45 minutes… if they’re not completely thawed by then, they’d be pretty darn close and you could toss them on the egg.
