Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel. Flip them over to the bone side and remove the thin membrane. Use a paper towel to get a good grip and pull it off in one piece.

Season both sides of the ribs generously with your favorite barbecue dry rub.

Sprinkle brown sugar over both sides of the ribs and rub it into the meat.

Place each rack of ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Top each rack with 4 tablespoons of butter, cut into pats.

Wrap each rack tightly in the foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake for 2.5 hours.

Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap the foil. Turn the oven setting to broil.

Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce and drizzle with hot honey, if using. Spread evenly over the top of the ribs.

Place the ribs back in the oven and broil for 5-6 minutes, watching closely to ensure the sauce doesn't burn.

Remove from the oven. The ribs should be extremely tender and falling off the bone. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
