How to Make Aunt Ann's Best Oven Roasted Ribs
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Adjust oven rack to the upper-middle position.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon salt.
- If using, in a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke.
- If using only mustard, skip step 3.
- Generously brush both sides of each rib rack with mustard (or mustard/liquid smoke mixture).
- Evenly sprinkle both sides of the ribs with the dry rub mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Line a large jelly roll pan or shallow roasting pan with a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, ensuring it extends up the sides.
- Place the prepared rib rack(s) in the foil-lined pan. Place the pan on the oven floor or bottom rack, ensuring the foil completely covers the oven level.
- Roast ribs until fork-tender: 2-3 hours for spare ribs, 1.5-2 hours for baby-back ribs. Internal temperature should reach 190-200°F (88-93°C).
- Remove the foil-lined pan from the oven and carefully pour off excess fat.
- Transfer the ribs to a clean, foil-lined pan, meat side down.
- Turn on the oven broiler.
- Brush ribs generously with half of your desired Ah-So Chinese style sauce.
- Place the pan under the broiler until the glaze bubbles vigorously. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
- Remove the pan, flip the ribs, brush with the remaining sauce, and return to the broiler.
- Broil until the glaze bubbles vigorously again. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from broiler and let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
- Cut into individual servings and serve immediately. Enjoy!
- (Optional) After cooking, soak the racks in hot, soapy water before running your oven's self-cleaning cycle.
