Oven Pork Ribs Instructions:

Preheat oven to 250°F. Rub pork ribs with the rib rub.
Wrap ribs in tin foil. Place in oven and cook 2 to 2.5 hours.
Remove from oven and discard juices. Baste with the rib sauce on both sides.
Place back in oven for 30 minutes, basting every 5 minutes until sauce is sticky. Using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should read 145°F when they are done cooking.
Cut ribs into pieces and serve. Use a spoon to carefully scrape remaining barbecue sauce into a serving dish for dipping. Enjoy!
