Instructions
1
Tear off 4 large pieces of aluminum foil, ensuring they are big enough to completely enclose each portion of ribs.
2
Lightly spray each piece of foil with vegetable cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
Generously brush both sides of the pork baby back ribs with the barbecue sauce, ensuring even coverage.
4
Place each portion of ribs in its own piece of foil, wrapping them tightly to seal in moisture.
5
Refrigerate the wrapped ribs for a minimum of 8 hours, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
6
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
7
Once preheated, place the tightly wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2 1/2 hours, which allows them to become tender and juicy.
8
Carefully remove the ribs from the foil (be cautious of hot steam), and optionally brush on additional barbecue sauce for a glossy finish.

Broil the ribs on high for an additional 5 minutes for extra caramelization, if desired.
