Barely-Any-Ingredients Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
- 1 (approx. 3-4 lb) Back Ribs OR 2 smaller strips of Baby Back Ribs
- oil, for coating
- 1 recipe Coffee Spice Rub
- 1 recipe Homemade Duck Sauce or your own favorite sauce
- 1 cup/ladle chicken soup or stock
Instructions
- Preheat oven between 250°F-350°F, depending on if you want to cook low and slow or a little quicker.
- Rub oil on the meat. Top generously with the coffee rub, getting both the top and bottom covered.
- Add a ladle full of chicken stock/soup into the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 3 hours at 350°F or 4-5 hours at a lower temperature (250-300°F) IMPORTANT NOTE: The cooking time will greatly vary depending on your oven, the type of pan that you use, and the quantity of ribs that you’re cooking. Your meat is ready when it feels soft and springy to the touch (not hard!).
- To serve, pour sauce over ribs before rewarming or keep sauce warmish and pour over ribs before serving. NOTE: Whether you need the broth when rewarming depends on how long you’re going to be rewarming for. If your ribs are basically warm and you’re heating up for just 15-20 minutes, then you can get rid of the broth and pour the sauce over to rewarm. But if you’re going to be rewarming for longer, then it’s best to keep the ribs in the liquid. While it’s fine to pour the sauce over while the ribs are still in the broth, you’ll lose some of the sauce.
