Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the bony side of the ribs and pat the ribs dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper the coat it with the dry rub. Don't forget to get around the edges of the rack of ribs as well.

Step 4

Fold together three sheets of aluminum foil to make one large sheet. Place the ribs meat side down in the middle and wrap it in the foil. Fold or crimp the edges to create a tight seal. *If adding the liquid smoke, lightly place drops on the aluminum foil around the ribs before sealing it shut.

Step 5

Bake for 2 - 2 ½ hours or until the meat shrinks away from the edges of the bone.* Remove from the oven and turn the broiler on medium.

Step 6

Open the aluminum foil and brush the oven baked ribs with half of the barbecue sauce. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce begins to brown and is bubbly. Flip and repeat on the other side.

Step 7

Cut the ribs into 2-3 rib portions and serve.
