Ingredients

3 pounds Pork Back Ribs or pork side ribs
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp ground pepper
½ cups Barbecue Sauce

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. In a large pot, filled half way with water. Bring to boil. Cut the ribs into two equal pieces so that you can fit it into a pot and place in boiling water for about 5 minutes, just to release and cut down the pork fat.
Remove the ribs from the water and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. If possible place parchment paper on top of the foil before laying the ribs on top. This will help with sticking. Cover the ribs with foil and fold the outer edges of the foil so that the ribs are sealed inside like a pocket.
Place ribs in oven and turn them every 30 minutes. The ribs are going to cook for about 2 hours. You'll know that they are ready when you go to turn them and they look like they will just fall apart.
Brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce during the last 15 minutes of cooking. You'll brush one side, then wait about 8 minutes, turn and then brush the other side. Once the ribs are ready, take them out to rest for about 5 minutes, then cut and serve them.
