Description

These Easy BBQ Ribs are slow-cooked until fall-off-the-bone tender, then slathered in a smoky, tangy barbecue sauce. Whether you cook them in the oven, slow cooker, or grill, they’re simple to make and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 racks baby back ribs (or St. Louis-style ribs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Dry Rub:
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
For the BBQ Sauce:
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ribs:
  1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off with a paper towel.
  2. Rub the ribs with olive oil, then coat them evenly with the dry rub, pressing it in well.
2. Cooking Methods:

Oven Method (Best for Fall-Off-the-Bone Ribs)

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and place them on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.
  4. Remove from foil, brush with BBQ sauce, and broil for 5-7 minutes until caramelized.

Slow Cooker Method (Set-It-and-Forget-It)

  1. Cut the ribs into 3-4 rib sections and place them in the slow cooker.
  2. Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours.
  3. Brush with BBQ sauce and broil for 5-7 minutes for a caramelized finish.

Grill Method (Smoky & Charred Flavor)

  1. Preheat grill to medium (350°F).
  2. Wrap ribs in foil and grill for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping occasionally.
  3. Remove from foil, brush with BBQ sauce, and grill for 10 minutes per side, until caramelized.
3. Serve & Enjoy:

  1. Let ribs rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve with extra BBQ sauce!

Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, add 1 teaspoon liquid smoke to the BBQ sauce.
  • Want crispy ribs? Finish on a grill or under a broiler for a charred crust.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
