Ingredients

2 racks of baby back ribs

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 cups BBQ sauce of your choice

2 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons cracked pepper

1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder

1 tablespoon granulated onion powder

Directions

  1. Season ribs with salt, pepper, granulated onion powder and granulated garlic powder. 
  2. Lay ribs meat-side down on a baking sheet with an elevated edge. Add one cup of water and cover the sheet pan completely in aluminum foil. 
  3. Bake in 325-degree oven for approx. 2 1/2 hours or until meat is tender enough to be pulled from the bone. 
  4. Chill the baby back ribs in the refrigerator for about one hour so that the meat doesn't fall apart. 
  5. Apply canola oil to grill grates and heat to medium-high. 
  6. Place ribs on grill meat-side up and baste with BBQ sauce. 
  7. Grill for approx. 3 minutes. 
  8. Flip so meat-side is down, and grill for 3 minutes. Apply BBQ sauce to the back of the ribs. 
  9. Grill ribs until BBQ sauce has started to caramelize and meat has started to get crisp edges. 
  10. Let ribs rest for 5 minutes, then brush with BBQ sauce before cutting them into 1-and 2-bone pieces. 
  11. Serve with remaining BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. 
  12. You can find prepared and cut racks of ribs at your local butcher or grocery store. If you have a full rack of ribs, we suggest you cut them in half if you're cooking in an oven in your home kitchen or on a standard gas grill.

I can’t believe there are no reviews on this recipe. It was my first time to cook them in the oven first and that must be the secret, these are delicious! The meat is so tender and full of wonderful flavor. I made them for my grown boys and family and they loved them! They are simple and delicious, give them a try you will be pleasantly surprised.
