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!

Shelby
Absolutely perfect ribs. I’ve made this recipe 3 times now, most recently baking 4 racks of ribs for a Christmas party (tender and ready right at the 3 and a half hour mark!)
Maureen
By FAR my favorite recipe for ribs! Fall off the bone every time and We have never once had leftovers!
Kim Wilkins
If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would. Super easy and amazingly delicious! We had our friends over who are rib and brisket connoisseurs and his remarks were “my lips are so happy “ and “my mouth is having a party “! Thanks for such an awesome recipe!
Liz
I am planning on making this recipe, but I had a question about the bbq sauce, can I buy regular bbq sauce and just add the honey, or do I buy brown sugar bbq sauce and then add the honey to that?
Tornadough Alli
You can use any BBQ sauce you want, I found that the brown sugar bbq sauce provided the flavor I really loved, but you can buy regular and add the honey to it as well 🙂
Trish
Hi. I want to make this tonight for dinner, and of course, I have pork spare ribs on hand, a rack just over 6 pounds. In your recipe, you mention to increase time for spare ribs. How much extra time would you think? I’m so excited to try this! 🙂 thank you!
Tornadough Alli
Hey Trish, sorry I’m just seeing this now. I would probably do around 3 1/2 hours but check for tenderness after 3.
Leti
Amazing recipe! I made it yesterday and everyone loved it. Thank you so much for sharing!
Allison Shaw
This recipe is phenomenal and SO easy. I’ve made it twice now and they really do just fall off the bone and the flavor is spectacular. I made them for friends last night and they raved that they were far better than any restaurant ribs they’ve tried. Good stuff!
Tornadough Alli
Thank you so much Allison! I do feel like these ribs are truly amazing, but I might be biased. I’m so happy that you and your friends loved them and thank you so much for taking your time and coming to comment!
Trish
Making these again. I am making two racks this time. Is the time the same for 2 racks? 3 hours?
Tornadough Alli
We regularly make 2 at the same time and usually it’s still 3 hours but just check at the 3 hour mark if they aren’t don’t just add 30 mins.
Maureen
We use this recipe all the time! So easy and hands off! I prepare them while babies are napping and dinner is ready to go when my husband gets home! Thanks 🙂
Tornadough Alli

I used a locally made rub but followed the remaining recipe, they were A-MAZING! This one is a keeper!
Venessa
I made these last night. They came out perfectly season, fall of the bone delicious. I will definitely make this again and try it out for the family BBQ.
Mary Ellen
These were delicious. I used spare ribs because I had them on hand. They fell off the bone, had great flavor and were moist. I was short on time and forgot to make the sauce. I will definitely make the sauce next time. This is a keeper recipe for times when we don’t want to cook outside on the grill/smoker.

I made these ribs for a July 4 luncheon for our family. There were 5 of us and I had 2 full racks of ribs, 1 baby back and the other slightly larger bone but still back ribs. I used the rub recipe from the recipe and followed the instructions exactly. These were by far the best ribs I’ve ever made.
Celeste
Delicious! Just made these for dinner and they were just as promised “fall of the bone” with a lot of flavor. And super easy for a rib-beginner. Thanks so much for making me look like an expert! Making these again for the 4th for the whole fam 🙂
Patrice Corcoran
Made these today for Father’s Day. Hubby loved them and had second helpings. I used beef ribs because that is what I had in the freezer. The three hour baking time was great. I’m throwing out my other rib recipes. This is “THE ONE”. Thanks for sharing.
Tornadough Alli
This is so great to hear! I’m so happy the hubby loved them, we adore this and I appreciate you taking your time and effort into rating and commenting on here!
Meghan Poleshuk
Has anyone cooked this in foil on the grill? If so, how long did it take?
Jolene
If you can keep your grill at 300 it will still take three hours. We’re making them now!!
