Fall Off the bone Baby Back Ribs

Directions

• Heat oven to 275° Fahrenheit (135C). Or for your convenience use a crockpot on High for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. If the ribs still have the thin membrane covering the back of the rack, remove it. See how in the notes section below.

• Season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt and pepper. If you are using a spice rub, add season the ribs with it now.

• Place the ribs, meat-side up, into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. (It may be necessary to cut the ribs in half for them to fit into the pan).

• Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake until the meat falls easily from the bones, 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours. We like to check the ribs after 2 hours to see how they are progressing. The ribs are done when the meat is cooked through and tender.

• To Finish

• Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with the Texas Whiskey Glaze

• Optional: Move an oven rack near the top of the oven. Turn broiler to high and broil the ribs for 3-4 minutes, just until the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize. (Keep a close eye on the ribs while they broil so the sauce does not burn.)
