  • Wrap the ribs in foil, making sure they are completely encased. For baby backs, bake for 2 hours, and for spare ribs, bake for 3 hours or until the pork ribs are bone tender when poked with a fork.
  • Open the foil and brush the meaty side of the ribs with a generous amount of your favorite barbecue sauce. Broil for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the ribs are crispy.
