Nurodymai

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Set aside a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet and aluminum foil.

Season the ribs: If your ribs still have a thin membrane on the back, remove it. (See the tips section for instructions.) Generously season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper. If using a spice rub, apply it evenly.

Wrap with foil: Place the ribs, meatiest-side down, in your roasting pan. You may need to cut the ribs in half to fit. Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil. The ribs must be well-sealed to prevent drying out. If your foil isn’t large enough, wrap the racks of ribs individually in tight foil packets and place them on the baking sheet. After making this recipe so many times, we find that keeping the meatiest side of the ribs facing down is best. The rendered fat and juices from the meat above drip down, creating a natural basting effect that keeps the meat moist and prevents it from drying out, especially during long, slow cooking, like in this recipe.

Bake the ribs: Bake for 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours or until the meat easily falls from the bones. I check the ribs after 2 hours to see how they’re doing. Ribs are ready when the meat is cooked through and very tender. To check if they are done, pierce them with a sharp knife. There should be little to no resistance. You can also gently bend the ribs. If the meat looks like it will easily pull away from the bone, they’re ready. If the meat is still tough, they are likely underbaked (your oven might be cooler than mine). Continue baking and consider increasing the temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Make BBQ Sauce: While the ribs are baking, prepare your sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions and cook until they’re soft and translucent, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.

Stir in the cumin and cook for another 30 seconds. Next, add the ketchup, hot chili sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir everything to combine, season with salt, and cook for 2 minutes. Set the sauce aside while the ribs finish baking.

Brush the sauce onto the ribs: Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil, and generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce.

Broil the ribs: Move an oven rack near the top of the oven and turn your broiler to high. Broil the ribs until the BBQ sauce begins to caramelize, about 3 to 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on them during this step to ensure the sauce doesn’t burn. Enjoy!
