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!

How long would I cook spare ribs?

Made this this evening. Used premade rubs that I had in stock. Either way, the meat was tender, juicy, and literally fell off the bone.
I’ll definitely be doing this again!!!
Carole
Excellent ribs! I have made them a number of times according to the recipe and every time people rave about them. Thank you!

I lost one of my brothers to Covid in April 2020. He was our family grill master. My other brother took over the grilling responsibilities but he never made ribs. We would just buy pre-cooked ribs from the farmers market until I found this recipe one day. Since then I have become the rib queen. The family loves this recipe. I have made no alterations to the way you said do it and they come out perfectly every single time. Thank you so much for posting this. You have filled one of the voids in our families meal times.

Did you remove the membrane?
Tornadough Alli
Yes, it says it in the ingredients after the ribs that the membrane is removed.

I have never left a comment before on a recipe website but must now – These are amazing. My husband didn’t think ribs could be any goos out of the oven. Boy, was he eating his words (and ribs!) Served them at party and every guest thought they were the best! Made them exactly as written – the rub was so good was skipped the sauce! Thank you for a great recipe!
