Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs

For Super Bowl Sunday, I decided to make some Baby Back Ribs. The last time I made these, I did a dry rub along with a BBQ sauce. This time, I did the same dry rub and let the ribs sit overnight in the fridge, but I didn’t do a BBQ sauce. I made a braising liquid that I poured into the foil pouch I cooked the ribs in.

I cooked the ribs at 225 degrees for 4 hrs and that was the ticket for fall-off-the-bone lick your fingers goodness! If you wanted, you could take it a step further and finish these on the grill but I was really happy they looked and tasted after resting about 15 minutes.

If you want ribs but you don’t want to fire up the grill, try making my oven-baked baby back ribs!
