Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs

I've made these Pork Ribs about 3 times. So far, they're frigging amazing each time. Seriously....AMAZING. They're not dried out (which is something I do with other recipes) they're not too wet, they get a nice crisp from the finish. I love them. I've served them on 3 different occasions and people have loved them each time.

PLUS, I get to play around with other spices to add....or you can just do the 5 magic ingredients below. I've only made this recipe with with pork. I've also never used 3 cups of bbq sauce.


Ingredients:
2-4 lbs. boneless beef or pork ribs
1/4 c. salt
1/4 c. sugar
3 cups Barbeque Sauce of your choice
Paprika to taste (this is a great time to pull out a smoked paprika!)


*You can also add more spices! I like to add Jamaican Jerk Seasonings and Garlic Salt. You'll cover a lot up with BBQ sauce but you can get hints*


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

2. Mix salt, sugar and paprika. Coat ribs. Place ribs in a baking dish and fill halfway with water (aka, water should come up to halfway point on the ribs). Put ribs in oven.

3. In 1 hour, flip them.

4. After 1 more hour, pull ribs out, Raise heat to 400. Drain water and cover those ribs in bbq sauce.


Personally, I suggest having a tinfoil layer ready to insert into the baking dish between draining and bbq sauce coverage. It makes cleanup a LOT easier!
