## **How to Make Bone Oven-Baked Ribs**

### 1. **Preheat and Prepare**

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). This low-and-slow cooking method helps the ribs become tender without drying out.

### 2. **Remove the Membrane**

Flip the ribs bone-side up and carefully peel off the thin membrane covering the bones. This step helps the seasoning penetrate better and makes the ribs more tender.

### 3. **Apply the Dry Rub**

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Rub this spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.

### 4. **Wrap and Bake**

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil to lock in moisture. Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours.

### 5. **Glaze and Broil**

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the ribs. Turn on the broiler and place the ribs under it for 3-5 minutes, watching closely until the sauce caramelizes and bubbles.

## **Tips for Perfect Oven-Baked Ribs**

* Don’t skip removing the membrane — it makes a big difference!
* Use a meat thermometer to ensure ribs reach an internal temperature of 190–203°F for tenderness.
* Customize your rub with spices you love — smoked paprika, chili powder, or cumin work great.
* For extra smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the barbecue sauce.

## **Serving Suggestions**

* Serve ribs with classic sides like coleslaw, baked beans, or cornbread.
* Pair with a crisp salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal.
* Don’t forget plenty of napkins — these ribs are finger-licking good!
