My Mom’s Salty Baby Back Ribs
My mom’s baby back ribs are super easy and tender. You just need to pop them in the oven at least 5 hours before the party so that they can sit and tenderize and are warm and ready to go when guests arrive. Also, don’t forget to set your oven rack to the middle, otherwise the ribs will burn when you broil them.
Mom's Salty Baby Back Ribs
Yield: 2 racks
Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 40 MinTotal time: 1 Hour
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back pork ribs (I use St. Louis style ribs)
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup garlic salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- Spray oil, like Pam
Instructions
- Set oven to broil, put on lower rack or it will burn.
- Prepare cookie pan with oversized aluminum foil and cooling rack.
- Rinse and pat dry your ribs
- Make a dry rub out of the salt, pepper and garlic salt.
- Spray each side of ribs with Olive Oil spray or Pam
- Sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs very generously
- Spray with Olive Oil spray or Pam again
- Liberally sprinkle flour on all sides (this makes them crispy)
- Broil meaty side up until browned (but not too much) about 10-15 min
- Then flip meat over and broil bottom sides until browned
- Then turn oven down to 350 and cook another 30 min or until crispy or meat easily pulls off, if you leave it them in too long it will get dried out.
- Cool out of oven for at least 15 min then slice
Notes
Cooking times depend on how big or meaty your rib racks are so just keep an eye on things
