Beth's Melt in Your Mouth Barbecue Ribs (Oven)

This method is awesome! For those trying to find the hickory smoked salt, the brand I use is "Spice Islands" they have it some of my local grocery stores, but it is available online too. I cook the ribs 2 hours in the foil packet as suggested, and I place the packet on a cookie sheet (in case of leaks. After two hours I remove them from the oven. I then turn up the oven temp to 350 degrees. I open the foil and roll back the edges to expose the ribs, (watch out for the steam!) and tilt the pan and use a small measuring cup to remove the excess liquid. Then, I slather the meaty side of the ribs with sauce, and return them to oven for 30-45 mins. Just our preference, as the sauce doesn't burn or char and I don't have to watch them so closely. Fabulous ribs, and clean up is so easy!

Today was the second time I have made these ribs...and they are the BEST and the EASIEST ribs ever! I do not know what bandcphilly did wrong, but even before I put the BBQ sauce and broiled them, they were SO good! I followed the directions exactly, but I did not have any smoked salt, so I just used mesquite liquid smoke rubbed on prior to adding the rub, as suggested in the instructions. Just be careful not to use too much liquid smoke, or it will make it better. Liquid smoke is definitely one of those things, more is NOT better, and a little goes a long way! Again, the best ribs I have ever made, and some of the best I have ever had!

This recipe is GREAT!! So moist and tender. I used my own rub since I already had some made. Will try Beth's the next time. The ribs were just great and so tender that the meat fell off the bone. No more parboiling ribs for me!! THANKS!!

These ribs are absolutely wonderful! Even my picky eater had bbq sauce from ear to ear and a big smile on his face. Just a couple of quick notes. I've made this recipe twice, the first time using a roasting pan to cook the ribs in the oven and the second time I used foil as the recipe calls for and there was a noticeable difference in the ribs. While the roasting pan ribs were really excellent, using the foil took the flavor and tenderness of the ribs to a whole new level. Also, the smoked hickory salt can be made by mixing liquid smoke with sea salt and letting it dry out on a cookie sheet.

PERFECT RIBS!!!!! This recipe needs nothing. I know it wasn't needed , but I prepped them with the rub the night before and they sat in the fridge until I was ready to cook them about 12 hours later. I'll never again use the "boil first" method because this way produces much more flavorful and moist ribs. So easy and the results blew me away. If you love ribs, then this is the way to go. I know I won't ever have to look for a new recipe after trying this one. Thanks so much for sharing this!

DEFINITELY A 5 star Recipe! Thank you Beth! This was going to be my final attempt at making ribs because I have had such bad luck making them over the last several years. If you are looking for a delicious and easy rib recipe, THIS IS THE ONE, I PROMISE YOU! If I can make this recipe anyone can! I followed the recipe except used my own rub and didn't have the smoke. I am severely inept at removing the membrane, but it still turned out FABULOUS. I grilled them at the end and used Famous Daves Rich and Sassy bbq sauce, but plan to try Sweet Baby Rays next time as I've heard such raves about that. My husband and I will use this method from now on. I can't wait to try this with company sometime!! Excellent!

killer ribs !!! Very easy to prepare and cook.They were the most tender ribs that I ever cooked.
Extremeley easy to cut into serving sizes which I feel deters alot of people from cooking ribs.
Can't wait to have people over for barbecue this summer.I will now be the rib king during gatherings
thanks to you.As far as not wanting to share this recipe I'm glad you did.I feel if your not planning
on making money off of something why not share with other so they can enjoy.The key is not to share with others in your own circle so you always impress. Thanks again

Great Ribs. Had one foil pouch spill in oven. Lots of smoke. Made the second time on charcoal grill. Grilled 3 hrs indirect @ 250 unfoiled. 1 hr foiled and last hr unfoiled with BBQ sauce. Even better than oven method

I have made this recipe several times - sooooo good - the family loves it. Followed recipe except substituted hickory liquid smoke for salt... just brushed ribs before applying rub.

Folks, if you don't try this recipe you're missing out on easy and great tasting BBQ ribs. We tried this recipe yesterday when we found out the night before that we'd be having guests to a non-existent Labor Day party and everyone thought that ribs would be great fun to make ribs. ...ribs? ...fun? ...for who, ME? Memories of slaving over "great" rib recipes that included boiling, marinating, and grilling all day haunted my thoughts of a relaxing day with friends and family.

NOT THIS RIB RECIPE! Easy to prepare and they taste better than anything you can get in a restaurant. We actually decided on a slab of thick boneless ribs and extended the cook time due to the thickness of the meat. My daughter, who can sometimes be a picky eater, got up this morning and had ribs for breakfast. Now that's some GOOD RIBS!

Theses are AMAZING!!! I never liked ribs until I came across this recipe! I did make a few *little* changes (I added a dash of cinnamon and ground cloves to the rub) and I brushed the ribs with liquid smoke before I put them in the oven. I also cooked them for 3 1/2 hours instead of 2 1/2 and i had the cleanest bones I have ever seen! =)

These were the worst ribs I ever had. They basically steamed in the foil packets and the meat came out gray and smelled terrible. Even after broiling and adding bbq sauce they still looked awful. My husband and I took one bite each and ended up throwing away two racks of ribs. If you like real bbq, this isn't the rib recipe for you.

This was my 1st time making BBQ ribs as they've intimidated me, but they were fabulous, very moist and fall-off-the-bone tender. I used the meatier country-style ribs, I tried a longer bake - 5 hrs @ 250 and poured off the fat after the bake, then applied the BBQ sauce to broil. I also used the smoked paprika. I've made it 3 times now, and have been told these are the best ribs they've ever had. They were so easy. The reader's comments convinced me to try this and I'm so glad I did.

We made these months ago, and I just now saw that I didn't rate them. We loved them. And tried Sweet Baby Rays Sauce for the first time, and now it's all I use. Love IT!
We used baby back ribs and then after I got braces we used boneless, only adjusting the cooking time so they didn't dry out. My husband is deployed right now and is already talking about having these when he comes home...and thats 3 months away. He had a lot of fun making his own rub. Thank You.

Wow! I've made ribs twice in my life now; the first time they turned out dry and tough, I hesitated to make ribs again but these were amazing!!!! I only made 2 lbs of ribs and so they only needed to cook for 1 hr 45 minutes. I also didn't have the smoked salt and just used sea salt instead and the flavor was perfect. Thanks!

Thank you sooo much, this recipe is by far the best I've found for ribs, they DO melt in your mouth. I will never make them any other way again!

Update: Tried this tonight with boneless/skinless chicken thighs. They were so tender, falling apart and juicy, wonderful!

Update: I wasn't able to find hickory smoke salt either, but I substitute smoked paprika for the regular to get the smoky part. And I like Bulls Eye original sauce the best on them. Making these again tonight!

I made these ribs using country style pork ribs (that's what I had on hand) and increased the cooking time. Super moist, super tender, and super delicious!
