These Fall Off The Bone Ribs are a simple recipe that is baked low and slow in the oven creating a tender, juicy and flavorful bbq dinner.
So I’ve kinda been a little famous among our friends for my ribs. They always get super excited when we have game night or bonfires and they know that we are making these, they pretty much line right now and rush to my house because they literally are irresistible.
These ribs are baby back ribs that are coated in a dry rub then baked creating a juicy and tender meat. They are then lathered in a honey bbq sauce and broiled for about 5 minutes making sure that sauce is coated right to the meat. Now tell me that these Fall Off The Bone Ribs don’t sound amazing.
HOW LONG TO YOU BAKE RIBS IN THE OVEN?
For these particular ribs we used baby back and we cooked them at 300 degrees for 3 hours. If you’re looking at spare ribs you are looking at a little longer time.
These Fall Off The Bone Ribs go amazing with all sorts of side dishes. Potato salad, corn on the cob, salad, fresh fruit, macaroni and cheese. You really can’t go wrong when it comes to making something that pairs really well with these.
HOW TO MAKE A DRY RUB FOR BAKED RIBS:
We make our own dry rub for these ribs but if you have some that you like to use then by all means use it, but our rub consists of:
- Brown sugar
- Paprika
- Dry mustard
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Cumin
- Chili powder
Once they are done cooking you then slather then in some bbq sauce. We usually use a brown sugar bbq sauce then mix it with a little honey to make a honey bbq sauce and it really compliments the dry rub really well. To finish these off we sprinkle with a little parsley and go to town!
Once you try these Fall Off The Bone Ribs you’ll never want anything else, we haven’t gone back to any recipe besides this one and we don’t regret it one bit!

Definitely my go to recipe for knockout ribs! So tender and full of flavor. They really do fall off the bone. Don’t even need a knife. Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe.

This is my go to recipe; I love wrapping them in Saran Wrap then the tinfoil and cooking them at 250! I think it takes 3 hours and then they fall off the bone.
I’m having to cook butt ribs that are individually sliced. I’m wondering how long to cook them for in this manner; any thoughts?
Thanks!
Linda
Can you add liquid smoke to the recipe? If so, when do u add it?
Tornadough Alli
I haven’t tried, but you could mix it in with the BBQ sauce and add it then.
LeeAnne
I have added liquid smoke and it was a huge hit!

Only way I cook ribs now! If I wanted to try spare ribs, how long would you suggest to cook a rack?
Thanks so much!

I’ve made these before and now for my church this is the best recipe for ribs.

This is absolutely the best recipe for ribs. And they do truly fall off the bone when they are finished baking. The only adjustment I make to this recipe if I leave out the brown sugar. I have used this recipe many, many times over the last few years

hahahahahaha…..
I had to be careful with the sauce because these were TENDER. Fall off the bone was what I wanted and that’s what I got. Oh wow…I’m HAPPY! Thank you for this recipe!!!

Made these last night for the first time. Never had ribs this delicious AND fall off the bone. How do I reheat them? Wrapped in foil?
