The Best Fall Off The Bone Baby Back Ribs Recipes

FALL OFF THE BONE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Clean ribs, trim any excess fat and remove membrane from back of ribs.
• In a medium bowl combine sugar, salt, ground pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Mix well.
• Coat each rack of rib top and bottom with dry rub mixture massaging in so it is evenly and well coated. Stack in a large foil roasting pan and cover with foil to let sit in fridge for at least 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 275 F and bake covered with foil for 3-4 hours or until ribs are tender and start to fall apart when prodded with a fork. Depending on the cut of the ribs it may take a little longer to get to this level of tenderness.
• When tender remove from oven. Preheat BBQ to medium heat.
• BBQ ribs a few minutes each side basting with Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce or your sauce of choice. Be careful not to let them sit for long because the sugar in the sauce may burn.
• Remove from barbecue and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Start smoker on 225 degrees F. I used a Traeger Timberline 1300
• Trim all ribs of any excess fat.
• Remove membrane using a paper towel from back of rib rack (this allows more flavor throughout the ribs)
• Cover with light layer of mustard
• Sprinkle racks generously with rub on both sides
• Place ribs directly on smoker and smoke, spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes, until internal temp reads 160 degrees F. I use my Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 for this step.
• Lay ribs upside down on foil
• Add brown sugar (LOTS!), butter, honey, apple juice and a dash of apple cider vinegar
• Double wrap in foil and place back in smoker and cook at 225 until internal temp reads 204 degrees F.
• Remove from foil (watch out for steam!) and if desired, sauce ribs generously and return to smoker for an additional 30 minutes or until sauce tightens.
• Slice between rib bones and serve

FALL OFF THE BONE BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Mix Brown sugar with spices and set aside. Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees. Use a 2 piece broiler pan, the lower half filled with very hot water, then layer racks of rib on the top. Ribs can be left whole in racks and layered, I have done 6 at a time, they still come out great. Rub the brown sugar mixture liberally over each rack. Then using heavy duty tin foil, cover the pan so that no heat escapes. I usually double wrap the ribs. Set in oven for 3 hours and can be up to 5 hours. Remove foil carefully and cut ribs into a manageable length to grill them. If you try to grill the rack without making it smaller, some of the ribs will fall apart and the meat will literally fall off the bones! Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce, I like homemade or Sweet Baby Ray's brand. Grill over a very hot gas or charcoal rill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with plenty of napkins. These ribs are amazing!

Steps:

• Remove membrane from back of ribs. This is a must! If you don't remove the membrane, don't bother making the recipe.
• Apply rub to both sides of the ribs. The measurements given in the ingredient list are approximate -- go with amounts you prefer and add/remove any rub ingredients to fit your taste.
• Lay a bay leaf on top of each rack of ribs. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil -- wrap them very well, either all in one big piece of aluminum foil, or individually wrapped.
• Put in a large roasting pan. You can put them directly on the oven rack, but I use a roasting pan in case juices escape.
• Bake at 200F for 6-8 hours (I prefer about 7-8 hours).
• Remove ribs from oven and unwrap.
• Generously apply hot sauce to ribs. Brush on barbecue sauce, then grill until nicely browned.
