Bubba's Ribs

Wash ribs very well, BOTH sides. Pat dry with a quality paper towel. Cut slab(s) into 5 and 6 bone pieces.

Rub some olive oil on both sides lightly (Bertolli). Sprinkle lemon pepper (Tones Lemon Pepper) all over (or other type rubs, see recipe below).

Cover with Saran brand wrap, folded to the back side of the ribs. Leave the fold UP. Cover with Reynolds aluminum foil, folded to the back of the ribs. Leave the fold UP.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Use center shelf.

Place ribs on a cookie sheet. Cook for two (2) hours. Turn OFF heat. Leave ribs in oven for an additional 30 minutes.

Remove cookie sheet/ribs. Pull foil back, making a boat around the ribs (Holds the juice in). Slip Saran wrap out from under ribs, leaving the juice in the foil.

Twist and pull bones out of rib meat. (DO NOT try to use a fork or tongs, as meat will fall apart.) Carefully cut meat up and place in a bowl with juice.

Serve with your BBQ sauce.
