### **Tips for Perfect Oven Barbecue Ribs Every Time**
To ensure your ribs turn out perfectly every time, here are a few additional tips:
– **Choose the Right Ribs**: Baby back ribs tend to cook faster and are tender, but spare ribs are larger and meatier, with a bit more chew. Both types work well for oven baking, so choose based on your preference.
– **Don’t Overcook**: While you want the ribs to be tender, you don’t want to overcook them to the point where they become dry. Stick to the 2.5-3 hour baking time, and check for tenderness.
– **Experiment with the Rub**: The dry rub is highly customizable. Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your preferences. You can make it spicier by adding more cayenne pepper or smokier with more paprika.
– **Make Ahead**: You can prepare the ribs and apply the dry rub the night before. Let the ribs rest in the refrigerator overnight for even more flavor penetration.
– **Use a Meat Thermometer**: If you want to be extra precise, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the ribs should reach **190°F-203°F** for optimal tenderness.
