Cooking foil wrapped baby back ribs in the oven is a classic and delightful experience that allows you to achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness and a tantalizing smoky flavor. This culinary journey begins with selecting high-quality baby back ribs, known for their delicate texture and flavorful meat. Preparing the ribs involves removing the membrane and seasoning them generously with your favorite spices, herbs, and a touch of sweetness. Once seasoned, the ribs are carefully wrapped in aluminum foil, creating a sealed environment that locks in moisture and enhances the cooking process. As the ribs braise in their own juices, the oven's heat gently tenderizes the meat, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Here are our top 4 tried and tested recipes!

Time 2h55m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup ketchup
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoons hickory-flavored liquid smoke
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.
4 lbs Smithfield Baby Back Pork Ribs
4 tablespoons Bar-B-Que Creole Seasoning Blend Recipe
2 cups Kansas City Style Barbeque Sauce

Steps:

  • A day before, in a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together the ketchup, tomato sauce, brown sugar, wine vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke, and butter. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, celery seed, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to low, and simmer for up to 20 minutes. For a thicker sauce, simmer longer, and for thinner, less time is needed. A sauce can also be thinned using a bit of water if necessary. Brush sauce onto any kind of meat during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Pat ribs dry with a paper towel and remove the membrane that covers the bony side of the ribs.
  • Apply Bar-B-Que Creole Seasoning Blend Recipe rub to ribs on all sides.
  • Lay ribs, bone side down on a long sheet of foil.
  • Lay another layer of foil on top of ribs and roll and crimp edges tightly, rolling the edges facing up to seal.
  • Place on baking sheet and bake for 2-2 1/2 hours or until meat has started to shrink away from the ends of the bone.
  • Remove from oven.
  • To finish ribs under the broiler, set oven to broil and place the ribs bone side up, on a broiling rack, brush with barbeque sauce and place, uncovered, under the broiler for about 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and cooked on, watch carefully, so they don't burn. Turn the ribs over and repeat on the meaty side. Remove the ribs from the broiling pan and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 slabs baby back ribs, about 1 pound each (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and black pepper.
  • Place each slab of ribs on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Do not seal the ribs in the foil yet (see Cook's Note). Generously sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator, meat-side down and uncovered, for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire and minced garlic. Pour half the liquid over each slab and tightly seal each in the aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a packet.
  • Transfer the foil packets and baking sheet to the oven and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully open the aluminum packets and pour the braising liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat until it becomes a thick and syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
  • While the braising liquid reduces, line a baking sheet with foil and gently transfer the ribs to it. Position a rack on the top level of the oven and preheat the broiler.
  • Using a pastry brush, generously brush the ribs with about half the glaze. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 1 minute. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the broiled until charred in spots, about 1 minute more. Slice each rack between the bones into 2-rib portions and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular ribs for this recipe, but you can also use spare ribs if you prefer. Spare ribs have more meat on them, but they take longer to cook.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will make them more tender.
  • Season the ribs: Season the ribs with a rub of your choice before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs.
  • Wrap the ribs tightly: Wrap the ribs tightly in foil before cooking. This will help to keep the ribs moist and tender.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: Cook the ribs at a low temperature for several hours. This will help to break down the connective tissue in the ribs and make them fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Let the ribs rest: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the ribs to retain their juices.

Conclusion:

Foil-wrapped baby back ribs in the oven are an easy and delicious way to cook ribs. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your ribs turn out tender and flavorful every time.
