They say self praise is no recommendation but I think I really outdid myself with this Oven BBQ Ribs recipe. These oven bbq ribs are seasoned to perfection with a dry and wet rub combo then cooked until tender.
In addition to the amazing flavor achieved with our marinade, the homemade tamarind and five spice BBQ sauce takes these ribs into a whole other realm. This is definitely a recipe worth trying whether you do these in the oven or on the grill.
