Instructions
Creating Easy Oven Baked Chipotle BBQ Ribs is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these simple steps to make your delicious ribs:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor penetration. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
3. Season the Ribs: In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chipotle powder. Rub the olive oil all over the ribs, then coat them with the spice mixture evenly.
4. Wrap the Ribs: Place the seasoned ribs on a large piece of aluminum foil. Wrap them tightly in the foil to create a sealed packet.
5. Bake the Ribs: Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
6. Prepare the Sauce: While the ribs are baking, mix the barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl until well combined.
7. Glaze the Ribs: After 2 hours, carefully unwrap the ribs from the foil. Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue sauce mixture.
8. Broil for Crispiness: Place the ribs under the broiler for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
9. Rest the Ribs: Once done, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
By following these steps, you will create an incredible dish that is both easy to make and bursting with flavor!
