I can admit that barbecuing can be intimidating. When a friend told me his secret to incredible, fall-off-the-bone barbecue ribs, I knew it was the perfect recipe to help me tackle my fears. The tip included this barbecue rib rub recipe, along with exactly how to cook the ribs so everyone will be begging for more. The most surprising part? You don’t even need a grill!

You probably already own most, if not all of the ingredients that make these ribs the very best. Take a few delicious spices and combine them with a few minutes of some hands-on elbow grease and you will have a barbecue success story. It’s really that easy.

My pro tip: save any leftover rub you might have for next time — because there will definitely be a next time. I mean, the meat just falls off the bone! These are so simple and addicting I promise you, you’ll want to make them all summer (and fall and winter) long.

Happy barbecuing!

Oven-Baked Barbecue Ribs

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time8 hours
Total Time8 hours 5 minutes
Cuisine: Barbecue
Servings: 4 people
Author: Daisi Owens

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne

Instructions

  • Combine the spices in a bowl and whisk together. Or put them in a bowl with a lid and shake.
  • Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs... front, back, sides, and again. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • Bake, covered in foil, at 225° for 7-8 hours.
  • About an hour before you're ready to serve them, take them out and slather them with your favorite barbecue sauce.
  • Now either (1) place the ribs back in the oven (uncovered) for thirty minutes to an hour or (2) grill them over medium heat, to caramelize the sauce and seal in the flavor.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe yields approximately 1 cup of the rub, enough for 2-3 slabs of baby back ribs or 1 slab of spare ribs, which will feed approximately 4-6 people.
