To prepare, place 1000g – 1200g of pork baby back ribs on a tray and remove the membrane/silver skin from the back of the ribs. Be sure not to skip this step because it makes it easy to chew the ribs once they are baked. It also makes it easy for your seasonings and spices to get into the meat.

Quickly rinse the ribs in cold water and pat them dry. Rub 2 tbsp of liquid smoke into the rack of ribs. Loosely sprinkle your dry rub (Ingredients found at the end of the recipe) on the backside of the ribs, flip it over onto a lined sheet of aluminum foil, and repeat the process.

Once you’re done seasoning the pork ribs, tightly enclose them in a lined aluminum foil. Bake your pork ribs in a preheated oven at 250°F  for about 2 1/2 hours. Remove the rack of ribs from the aluminum foil and place it on the baking sheet. At this point, you should pour out the juices in the pan as well.  Slather the pork ribs with barbecue sauce. You can always use a basic homemade barbecue sauce or any bottled store brand.
