Easy Oven Baked Ribs

Slab of ribs

Mustard 

Your favorite rub

Your favorite BBQ sauce 

Rise ribs and pat dry.  Remove the membrane on the back side.  Apply Mustard as a binder.  Add a generous amount of rub.  Flip over and do the same on the other side.  Wrap in aluminin foil.  Make sure you seal it up.  Place on a baking sheet and bake at 275 degrees for 21/2 to 3 hours.  Apply your favorite BBQ sauce.  Leave the aluminum foil open and cook under a low broiler for 3-5 minutes to let the BBQ sauce caramelized.  They will literally fall off the bones.  So good and SO easy.
