I know that in
Motherfucking Ribs Baby I, I stated that only idiots cook ribs in their oven. Well it is January in Portland and that means one thing: rain. Since I don't have a covered area in which to BBQ and I got a serious hankering for some rib action, we are going to make some baby backs in the oven. The rules of the game still apply. Slow and low is how we are going to make these bad boys. Patience is key when it comes to the art of ribs.Let's begin.
Mix up your
pork rub in a small bowl. Lay your ribs on a large sheet of foil as seen above. If you bought your ribs at some shitty supermarket, there will be a white membrane on the backside (called the pleura). Remove it completely. If you bought your ribs at a kick ass butcher or local market, it will already be removed. Also be sure to trim off any excess fat.
Rub your
spices all over that bad boy. "Rub" is actually misleading. If you rub it in your ribs will get all sorts of fucked up. Pat them in vigorously (no need to be gentle) and that way a nice spice layer is formed over the meat.
Wrap that shit up as tight as you can and throw it in the fridge for at least three hours (preferably six hours to overnight). I only did it for three hours and it worked out fine for me. In the meantime, make your
BBQ sauce. Not surprisingly, I made this batch with a buttload of chipotle peppers (that's for you PussDaddy!) so I omitted the cayenne from the recipe. Some people (idiots) marinate their ribs in
BBQ sauce pre-cooking. That is totally stupid. Don't do it.
Let your ribs sit outside the fridge for about an hour before you put them in the oven. Place them, uncovered, on a baking sheet and put them in a 250 deg oven for two hours. Remove and baste with
BBQ sauce. Return to oven for another hour and a half to two hours, basting and flipping every 15 min. This will give you a nice thick cooked on layer of
BBQ sauce. Want a little less? Don't start basting until after three hours. I know this may seem labor intensive, fat-ass, but it is all worth it in the end. Eat it.

These look great!
Damn right! I got 4lbs of regular ribs at costco today and I kinda want to do something different but these were amazing and I still have enough BBQ sauce left...
looks pretty good, i like to lay a few jalapanos on mine for a extra kick.
i know it's store bought but you ever tried "sweet baby ray's bbq sauce"? best store bought you can get.
I put so many chipotle peppers in the BBQ sauce that if I were to top them off with fresh jalapeños my face would melt.
I have not heard of that brand. I can't remember the last time I purchased bottled BBQ sauce.
Bobby Flay called, he wants his ribs back.
Fuck that asshole. He wishes he could throwdown ribs like me
Good ribs don't need sauce
Bullshit
Well, I find that good SMOKED ribs don't usually require sauce. However, if the weather doesn't allow for an outdoor smoker to be used, a bit of sauce helps.
=^..^=
Great looking ribs!
Stubb's bottled sauce is completely respectable. The "moppin' sauce" is good too.
Even slow cooked on the weber, they require sauce. Not in a professional smoker though, I will give you that.
I love the label but Stubb's sucks ass.
LOL. You're a riot.

I was hoping you would read that!
I had googled my name and saw "that's for you PussDaddy", lol.
PussDaddy
That is fucking hilarious!
I was so shocked I forgot my Y up there, lol.
PussDaddy
This maybe a really dumbass question but before you put the ribs in the oven you do take them out of the foil right? Also do you every put any water or anything like that in the pan?
Many Thanks
yeah...totally take them out of the foil. Place them on a baking/cookie sheet. No water or any bullshit in the pan. Good luck!
Thanks cooking asshole!
I'm coming to your house and I'm going to punch you right in your whore mouth.
Your trackrecord for competitions is not so hot...sure you want to take that gamble?
