BAKED BABY BACK RIBS
Even a barbeque purist cannot scoff at these foil-wrapped, baked and glazed baby back ribs. They're satisfyingly sweet, savory, smoky and flavorful. The meat falls off the bones! Baking in foil also reduces the amount of clean up. You'll be busy enjoying these ribs -- who has time for dishes?

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.

Steps:
- For the rub: The day before cooking, mix the turbinado sugar, salt, paprika, chili powder, granulated garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, ground mustard, cayenne pepper and black pepper together.
- For the ribs: Take a slab of ribs and turn over so the curved side is up. Using your fingernail or a knife, pry under the membrane until you can put your finger under it and then pull it off.
- Sprinkle this side of the ribs with about 1 tablespoon rub, and then about 1 tablespoon yellow mustard. Use the mustard to help evenly distribute the seasoning. Turn the ribs over and repeat the process. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight.
- To cook, start a smoker and bring the temp to 200 degrees F. Use apple or cherry wood chunks to provide smoke and flavor. Place the ribs in the smoker, curved side down. Smoke for 2 hours at 200 degrees F, and then raise the temperature to 250 degrees F for about 2 1/2 hours. Check for tenderness by testing if the bones will pull apart with a slight bit of pressure. If they are still tough, allow to cook for another 30 minutes.
- Remove from the smoker. For dry-style ribs, sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon rub. For wet-style ribs, glaze with the BBQ sauce.

ONE-PAN BABY BACK RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY
You don't need a barbecue to make flavorful baby back ribs - in fact, all you really need is one sheet tray. After slowly roasting the ribs on it, load it up with corn and asparagus in the final ten minutes of cooking and dinner is done. The ribs will be falling off the bone, and the veggies will be perfectly tender yet crisp. The best part? You'll only have to wash one dish.

KITTENCAL'S EASY OVEN-BAKED BARBECUED CHICKEN
Really this is such an easy recipe I wasn't going to even bother posting it, I have been making this for years and when you can't barbecue outside this is the next best thing! --- Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce works really well or use your own favorite, I most always use my recipe#232433 and prepare the sauce a day ahead --- I did not list the amounts for the seasoned salt and garlic powder as I never measure but probably use about 2 teaspoons each for all the chicken pieces, I usually use about 2 cups sauce but a little more or less is fine -- boneless, skinless chicken breasts work well also but cooking time will need to be reduced, you will *love* this!

KITTENCAL'S BEST AND EASIEST BABY BACK RIBS
Plan ahead these ribs need to marinate 8-24 hours, you can also cook these on the outdoor grill, punch a few holes on top of the foil to allow steam to escape and to absorb the smoke flavor --- use your own favorite BBQ sauce Sweet Baby Ray's good to use, the honey needs to be added into the BBQ sauce to tenderize so do not omit, the best thing about this is there is easy clean-up! --- and yes you can also make them on the grill

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Look for baby back ribs that have good marbling and are about 1 inch thick. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of fat.
- Trim the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and make them more tender.
- Season the ribs: Season the ribs liberally with your favorite spices. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook baby back ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will help the ribs become tender and fall off the bone.
- Wrap the ribs: Halfway through cooking, wrap the ribs in foil. This will help them steam and become even more tender.
- Glaze the ribs: In the last few minutes of cooking, glaze the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. This will give them a nice caramelized crust.
Conclusion:
Baby back ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out tender, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, give baby back ribs a try!
