Easy Fall Off The Bone BBQ Ribs

These are so easy but no one will have any idea since they taste like you’re a barbecue champion-level chef.

Ingredients

  • One rack of pork baby back ribs

  • Juice of one lemon

  • 1/4 cup dry rub (your own or Jenny’s recipe). If you want to prep them gluten-free, make sure to check the ingredients in your dry rub before using.

  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your own or Jenny’s recipe) Make sure to check your barbeque sauce if you’re prepping these for a keto/paleo or Whole30 diet.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300° F.

  2. Remove excess fat from ribs. Peel the silver skin off the back of the ribs - lift with a sharp knife and grab with a paper towel to remove.

  3. Cut ribs apart into individual pieces.

  4. Rub ribs all over with lemon juice.

  5. Coat ribs with a dry rub. Place meat side down in a large baking pan, & cover tightly with foil, shiny side out.

  6. Bake in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.

  7. Remove from oven & pour off liquid.

  8. Brush bbq sauce over all sides of ribs.

  9. Grill: To finish ribs on the grill, remove from the pan and place ribs on the grill (I use a basket over direct but low heat) basting and turning a few times for about 10 minutes.

  10. Oven: To finish ribs in the oven, set oven to broil and return ribs to the same middle oven rack, uncovered, basting and broiling about 5 minutes per side, watching so they don’t burn. They will be so tender, so it’s best to turn them using gloved hands. (If foil starts to burn, transfer ribs to a clean sheet of foil for broiling)

PS: Prefer beef ribs? She has a recipe for that too.
