  • Customizable sauce—use your favorite or make it homemade
  • Crowd-pleaser for summer BBQs, game day, or holidays

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Ribs:

  • 2 racks baby back ribs (about 4–5 lbs total)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional)

For the Sauce (or use store-bought):

  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Ribs

  • Remove the thin silver membrane from the back of the ribs for tenderness.
  • Pat dry and rub with olive oil.
  • Mix the dry spices and rub all over the ribs. Let sit for 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).

2. Bake Low & Slow (Oven Method)

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Wrap each rack in foil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until ribs are very tender.

3. Make the BBQ Sauce

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan.
  • Simmer on medium heat for 10–15 minutes until thickened.

4. Grill or Broil to Finish

  • Remove ribs from foil and brush generously with sauce.
  • Option 1: Grill over medium-high heat for 5–7 mins per side, until caramelized.
  • Option 2: Broil in the oven for 3–5 minutes per side.

Tips for the Best BBQ Ribs

  • Use baby back ribs for tenderness or spare ribs for meatier bites
  • Remove the membrane for better texture
  • Double the sauce if you like it extra saucy
  • Add liquid smoke to the sauce for a smoky flavor without the grill

What to Serve with BBQ Ribs

  • Classic coleslaw
  • Cornbread or baked beans
  • Grilled corn or mac & cheese
  • Watermelon salad or potato wedges

Make Ahead & Storage Tips

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Freezer: Wrap cooked ribs tightly and freeze for up to 2 months
  • Reheat: Cover with foil and warm in a 300°F oven or microwave with a splash of water

Variations & Flavor Ideas

  • Spicy ribs: Add cayenne to the rub or hot sauce to the glaze
  • Sweet ribs: Use honey or maple syrup in the sauce
  • Smoky ribs: Use smoked paprika, liquid smoke, or grill over wood chips
  • Asian-style: Glaze with hoisin, soy sauce, and sesame oil

Final Thoughts

These BBQ ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, saucy, and full of smoky flavor whether you use the oven, grill, or both. Once you try them, you’ll be asked to make them again and again.

Perfect for Father’s Day, Memorial Day, Eid feasts, or summer BBQs, this recipe is a keeper!
