Oven baked ribs are juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone delicious! Coated in a homemade dry rub and baked until tender, then brushed with sticky-sweet caramelized barbecue sauce.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
In a bowl, combine your rub ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
Remove silver skin/membrane carefully from the back of your ribs. Sprinkle rub all over both sides of ribs and place onto prepared baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil.
Bake for 2 ½ to 3 hours, or until meat is tender. Remove baking sheet from oven, uncover, and brush both sides of ribs with barbecue sauce.
Turn broiler to high. Return uncovered ribs to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce begins to caramelize.
Allow to set for 10 minutes at room temperature before slicing.
