When to add BBQ sauce ribs when oven cooking?

When cooking ribs in the oven, the best time to add BBQ sauce depends on the type of ribs and the desired result. Here are a few general guidelines:

1. For a more traditional, caramelized crust: Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce during the last 15-30 minutes of cooking. This will help to caramelize the sauce and create a crispy, flavorful crust.

2. For tender, juicy ribs with a sticky glaze: Apply BBQ sauce to the ribs at the beginning of the cooking process and then baste them every 15-20 minutes. This will allow the sauce to penetrate the ribs and result in tender, juicy meat with a delicious glaze.

3. For fall-off-the-bone ribs: If you prefer ribs that are very tender and fall off the bone, you can apply BBQ sauce to the ribs for the entire cooking time. However, be sure to baste them frequently to prevent the sauce from burning.

Here are some additional tips for cooking ribs in the oven:

- Preheat the oven to the appropriate temperature before cooking the ribs.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ribs are cooked to your desired doneness.

- Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices inside the ribs.
