Ingredients
- 3 pounds baby back ribs (2 slabs)
- 2 yellow onions (sliced)
- 4 cloves garlic (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- ½ cup chili sauce (*see note, or additional BBQ sauce)
- ¼ cup ketchup
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 275°F. In a small bowl, combine the spice mix and set aside. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
-
If present, remove the white membrane from the back side of the ribs (see notes). Pat the ribs dry and check for little bone shards or pieces. Cut into 4 to 6 rib pieces.
-
Gently massage the seasoning mix (or salt and pepper) into both sides of the ribs.
-
Place the ribs on the prepared baking pan, meaty side down. Cover the ribs with onion and garlic.
-
Cover & seal with another piece of foil.
-
Bake the ribs for 2 hours. Carefully open the corner of the sealed foil and pull a small piece of meat off to ensure the ribs are tender. If they are not tender, bake for another 20-30 minutes and check again.
-
Meanwhile, combine BBQ Rib Sauce ingredients together.
-
Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the juices, onions, and garlic. Brush ribs with olive oil and brush generously with BBQ sauce.
-
Grill or broil over medium high heat 5-10 minutes or until charred.
