### **Cooking the Ribs in the Oven**
Now that your ribs are prepped and the sauce is ready, it’s time to start the baking process. The key to achieving tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs is cooking them low and slow. Here’s how to do it:
#### **1. Preheat Your Oven**
Preheat your oven to **300°F (150°C)**. This low and slow temperature will allow the ribs to cook gently, ensuring they become tender and juicy without drying out.
#### **2. Wrap the Ribs in Foil**
Place the prepared ribs on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. If you’re cooking two racks, you may need to separate them onto different pieces of foil. The foil will help trap moisture and steam, allowing the ribs to cook in their own juices and remain tender.
– Place the ribs meat-side down on the foil to ensure the seasoning and rub stay intact.
– Fold the edges of the foil up to create a tight seal around the ribs. This will keep the moisture in as the ribs cook.
#### **3. Bake the Ribs**
Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet, ensuring they are lying flat. Then, place them in the preheated oven and bake for **2.5 to 3 hours**. During this time, the ribs will slowly cook and become tender, with the meat pulling away from the bone.
#### **4. Remove and Apply Barbecue Sauce**
After 2.5 to 3 hours, remove the ribs from the oven. Carefully open the foil (be cautious of the hot steam). At this point, the ribs should be tender and cooked through.
– Brush a generous layer of your homemade barbecue sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
– Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for an additional **20-30 minutes**, allowing the sauce to set and caramelize on the ribs.
#### **5. Final Touch: Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional)**
If you prefer a little extra crispy texture on the edges of the ribs, you can finish them off by broiling them for **3-5 minutes**. This step is optional, but it will give the ribs a nice char and enhance the flavor.

### **Serving Your Oven Barbecue Ribs**
Once the ribs are done, it’s time to carve and serve them. Use a sharp knife to slice the ribs between the bones. Arrange the slices on a platter and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
Oven barbecue ribs are perfect when paired with classic side dishes such as:
– **Coleslaw**
– **Corn on the cob**
– **Baked beans**
– **Grilled vegetables**
– **Mashed potatoes**
– **Cornbread**
Enjoy these delicious ribs with your favorite beverage, whether it’s a cold beer, iced tea, or a glass of red wine.
