Baked BBQ Baby Back Ribs: Tender, Flavorful, and Perfectly Glazed

Serve your Baked BBQ Baby Back Ribs hot off the rack, with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. Leftover ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also freeze leftover ribs for up to 3 months; just wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap before freezing.

Variants:

Spicy BBQ Ribs: Add a bit of heat to your BBQ sauce by mixing in some cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicier kick.
Honey Mustard Glazed: For a tangy twist, swap out your BBQ sauce for a honey mustard glaze. Brush it on in the final stages of baking for a sweet and zesty flavor.
Dry Rub Ribs: If you prefer a dry rub over BBQ sauce, skip the sauce step and just apply a flavorful dry rub before baking. This gives the ribs a flavorful crust without the need for sauce.
FAQ:

1. Can I use spare ribs instead of baby back ribs?
Yes, you can substitute spare ribs, though they may require a bit more cooking time (around 3-4 hours) due to their larger size and tougher meat.

2. Can I cook the ribs on the grill instead of in the oven?
Yes! Preheat your grill to medium-low heat, and cook the ribs over indirect heat for about 2-2.5 hours, basting with BBQ sauce as you go.

3. Can I make the ribs ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake the ribs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven with extra BBQ sauce for the best results.

Baked BBQ Baby Back Ribs are the perfect combination of tender, flavorful meat and a sweet, smoky glaze. Easy to make and packed with irresistible flavor, this dish will be a hit at any dinner table.
