How to Cook Ribs in the Oven

Remove the membrane (remember, this ensures fall off the bone ribs).

Generously season both sides with salt and pepper. This is also a great opportunity for adding more flavor with your favorite spice rub.

Cover the ribs with aluminum foil.

Bake the ribs at a low temperature (275°F) for 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours or until they are tender.

Slather the baked ribs with barbecue sauce, and then broil (or grill) the ribs for a few minutes until the sauce is caramelized.
