## **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**
