You may not have thought that you could make tender, flavorful ribs in the oven, but you sure can! And they are wonderful!

I first started making country style ribs in the ’80s. We never ate them growing up.

The first time I made them we were in shock at how easy and yummy they turned out.

What Are Country Style Ribs?

These ribs are actually cut from the blade end of the loin close to the pork shoulder. The bones are not from the ribs, but are actually pieces of the scapula.

You can buy the bone-in or boneless. I usually go for boneless.

The meat can be used for other recipes such as pork carnitas, pozole, chili verde, pulled pork, and so on.

The steps to make these delicious oven baked ribs are easy. Here they are:

Barbecue Sauce

My recommendation is to use a smoky flavored barbecue sauce for a more “grilled” flavor.

As I always say though, use what you have, and one that you know you like.

Seasoning the Ribs

It is important to flavor these country style ribs in three layers.
• First, coat in a flavorful spice rub that has salt, cumin, pepper, chili powder, and other spices.
• Second, after the initial bake time, you will coat the ribs in a smoky barbecue sauce. This makes them taste amazing!
• Third, after baking, brush with the remaining barbecue sauce right before serving.
