Mix well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the Ribs:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace the ribs meat-side down on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Using a knife, prick the back of the rib rack several times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season the Ribs:<\/strong><br \/>\nGenerously rub the dry seasoning mixture over all sides of the ribs, making sure they are evenly coated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrap the Ribs:<\/strong><br \/>\nKeep the ribs meat-side down and tightly wrap them in the aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet. Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake Until Tender:<\/strong><br \/>\nBake in the preheated oven for about <strong>2 hours<\/strong>, or until the ribs are tender and fully cooked. Remove from the oven and let them rest for <strong>15 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase the Oven Temperature:<\/strong><br \/>\nIncrease the oven temperature to <strong>350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the BBQ Sauce:<\/strong><br \/>\nCarefully open the foil and drain away any accumulated juices and excess fat. Brush the barbecue sauce generously over all sides of the ribs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake and Glaze:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace the ribs meat-side up and return them to the oven with the foil left open. Bake for <strong>10 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the ribs, brush another layer of barbecue sauce over the meat-side, and return them to the oven for another 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat this process <strong>4 more times<\/strong>, brushing with additional BBQ sauce each time, for a total of <strong>50 minutes of baking time<\/strong> at 350\u00b0F.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve:<\/strong><br \/>\nRemove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Cut the rack into individual ribs and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n<p>Serve these delicious BBQ ribs with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creamy coleslaw<\/li>\n<li>Baked potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Corn on the cob<\/li>\n<li>French fries<\/li>\n<li>Macaroni and cheese<\/li>\n<li>A fresh green salad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips for Perfect Ribs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>For extra tender ribs, remove the thin membrane from the back of the rack before seasoning.<\/li>\n<li>Wrap the ribs tightly in foil to help keep them moist while they bake.<\/li>\n<li>Apply several thin layers of BBQ sauce rather than one thick layer for a delicious sticky glaze.<\/li>\n<li>Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baked BBQ Baby Back Ribs Tender, juicy, and packed with smoky, sweet, and spicy flavor, these oven-baked BBQ baby back&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6736,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6735"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6737,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6735\/revisions\/6737"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
