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!

The 5 star overall rating for these ribs is VERY well deserved. I’ve made them twice now and both times they were perfect. The rub is good for flavouring though you really don’t need quite as thick of a layer of the rub to make this work. The slow oven roast makes them so tender they really do fall off the bone (be careful when you are lifting the ribs to put on the bbq sauce – they are very very fragile). The BBQ sauce is brilliant! the honey makes all the difference the the world and you need ALL the honey (don’t cheap out on it). The honey carmelizes so well that you’ll be fighting to be the person who gets to scape and lick off the foil. If you like ribs, you really must try this recipe.

WOW! I have been wanting to make ribs. But nervous. So, I tried this recipe and OMG it was amazing. My family couldn’t get enough and wanted more. I highly recommend this recipe!!
Tabitha
This is the best ribs recipe. Sometimes we use the suggested bbq sauce, sometimes we just use our favorite. So simple and fall off the bone tender.
Mary
Great recipe… my family loves your ribs. Thank you for sharing.
Debra
Just made these and they are “fall off the bone” delicious!!
Wild Bill
So you broil them on lower rack? Isnt the idea of broil on upper. But anyhow i made these on Barbi grill they turned out very good as well. just no direct heat till after sauce. I basted a few times flipping evey minute or so. Delicious
Tornadough Alli
We don’t always broil our stuff on the high rack, we do these on the lower one so it broils slower and slowly caramelizes the top rather than quickly.

OK, I have used this recipe several times and it’s a go to for ribs.
I ventured this on beef ribs today and guess what. Outstanding results. Slow and long cooking at its best with an outstanding rub. No changes.
Jordan
Can you cook 2 racks at the same time?
Tornadough Alli
Yes! We do it all the time. Same time and temp.
Nina
Is it cooked on a higher rack for the first 3 hours?
Tornadough Alli
No its cooked on the center rack.

These are the best ribs I have ever tasted and made! I don’t like ribs that are tough so I googled a fall off the bone rib recipe. Literally make this for all my friends and family events and everyone raves about! It’s so easy to make and sooooo GOOD!!
Donna Atkinson
My husband just commented that these were the best ribs I’ve ever made and my son-in-law thought they were so good he asked for the recipe. They both want to try in the smoker next time….and there will be a next time! This recipe was delicious!
Lisa
Hi Donna, I was wondering if you ever made the recipe in the smoker. And if so, did you do the recipe as is, and then finish in the smoker?
Tornadough Alli
We do have a smoker recipe for this exact recipe 🙂
Linda
Best fall off the bone ribs I’ve had in a longtime. I used large pork ribs and cooked for 3 hrs. and 30 mins.
Jane
Best ribs I have ever made. I questioned some ingredients but go with it.
They all work together and make for a great taste. I’m not fond of cumin, but
you really don’t taste it, blended with all the other spices.
I’ll make it again and my family loved this recipe
Sherman Dudley
Delicious and simple to bake.
Mary Galus
These were excellent done in the oven in a roaster as well.
Peggy
Delicious and so easy! I have made them many times…. great in the oven but today my husband wants to do them in his smoker.
These ribs are better than any restaurant! Thank you for the recipe.
Tammy R.
The best rib recipe I’ve ever made! Rave reviews from the family!
Vicki
What is the weight of the ribs you used? I have a one and a half lb. rack of baby back ribs in my freezer. These sound delicious!
Tarik H.
This is the easiest and best rib recipe that I have seen. I am a seasoned outdoor griller and love to use this recipe in the oven.
Thank you
Alisia M.
I’ve never perfected ribs in the oven. We usually only ever have ribs when it’s warm enough to cook them on the grill. I took the lazy route with store bought rub and bbq sauce. I used baby back ribs. They still turned out amazing! Better than restaurants. Could have cut thru them with a silicone spatula the were so tender! Definately my go to ribs now! Thank you!!!
