Want to learn the quickest way to cook babyback ribs in the oven? Good, because you are going to learn the simplest method there is.

Since ribs take a lot of time to cook and ovens tend to dry meat out, brining your ribs are very important to keeping them juicy. To brine your ribs simply place them in a container of water, salt and your preferred herbs and spices and soak them for about an hour before cooking.

 

Once your ribs have soaked thoroughly in your brine, feel free to dry rub them with whatever herbs and spices you like mixed with a little brown sugar. This will help to bring out the meat’s natural flavors.

 

Before placing your ribs in the oven be sure to braise them with a little chicken broth, white wine or even orange juice to keep them moist.

 

Now, place your ribs in a 250 degree oven for 2-4 hours, depending on how many ribs you are cooking and how tender they get.

 

A few minutes before they are ready, glaze your ribs with barbecue sauce a bit more of your braising liquid. This will help to caramelize them and make them extra tasty.

 

As you can see, learning how to cook babyback ribs in the oven is simple. This is one food that requires little prep time; allowing you to get them started and walk away until they are done. So get yourself some ribs and get started. A great dinner awaits.
