No Smoker BBQ Ribs
I love ribs, and I do love smoked ribs but not everyone had a smoker at home. You can still get that fall off the bone texture and delicious flavour with some great spices and a little time.
Ingredients
Spice rub
Glaze
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C fan-forced. Combine really well all the spices, I used a fork and give it a good once over or you could put it through a spice grinder or even in a blender to get it really mixed together. You just don't want lumps, especially the sugar.
- Rub down the ribs with a generous helping of the spice mix. Coat all sides well and then warp each rack separately in foil and place on oven tray. Cook for 2 hours covered in the oven.
- Remove from oven and carefully open foil, brush over generous helping of your BBQ sauce and then recover with foil and cook for a further hour.
- Final step, remove ribs from oven, open foil and brush on more BBQ sauce if needed and add butter to create nice shine. Cook uncovered for a further 30 minutes or until sticky and shiny.
- Remove from oven, allow to rest, ribs should be falling off the bone. Serve with more BBQ sauce, coleslaw and chips / fries.
Notes
You’ll find chipotle at larger supermarkets and Latin American grocers.
