Boil-n-Bake Baby Back Ribs - Hot 5-Spice Ribs Recipe Perfect for the Super Bowl!

People think that boiled ribs are insanity?  Hell, I grew up with 'em!  You par-boil them to remove a lot of the fat and make them more tender, then you cover them in the sauce and bake them.  The most tender ribs ever.

I have cook my ribs like this for a very long time, and I'm old. The one twist I do is after they are done simmering in the pot, I pull them out and let them cool. Then I wrap them in tin foil and put them in the freezer overnight. I pull them out when I'm ready to bake and let them defrost. I slather them up and pop them into the oven. I learned this technique from an old BBQ master in Tennessee. Best ribs I've ever had, and I've had a I'm old.

I do that I boil my ribs first before baking, I'm Haitian, so that's how I grew up learning

7 years later, still a classic. I’m so glad I remembered this was here and not taken down 😳

Everytime I hear chef Johns one liners, the "YEEEEAAHHHH" from CSI Miami goes off in my head.

thank you for the wonderful humorous demonstration and your humility very refreshing the way you present your information with much credibility

Wow !! made these tonight, the most incredible ribs ever. I doubled the ingredients for the glaze to have extra. I added the glaze 3 times during the baking and I broiled the top for 5 mins at the end. Chef John ! Genius !

This is without a doubt, one of my favorite recipes of all time. Easy, delicious, and you can probably knock it out on a weeknight, although I usually save it for game days or the weekends. Thank you Chef John.

Ok I tried this three times and am so addicted . Although I used a few different ingredients it still came out delicious! This means I have to do more cardio at the gym because am doing it again this weekend. I love you Chef John am learning allot from you.

i knew if I read the comments there would be part of the crowd wagging their finger for boiling ribs.  Sure, dry rubbing ribs the night before, smoking with applewood for 3 hrs + maintaining a perfect 250 degrees and just the right level of humidity will probably create a superior rib to this one.  But sometimes you just want ribs in January when its 20 degrees outside without the mess, effort, and fuss.  Sometimes I don't have time to make a 6 hour 'sunday gravy', sometimes I feel like eating pasta with a tomato sauce 30 minutes after I thought about what to have for dinner.  There's almost always a superior method than what most home cooks employ.  This is a great recipe. thanks chef john.

I have boiled my baby backs in half beer and water for years. Then onto the grill. They come out great. Thanks for the excellent video and recipe.

I haven't made these yet but I have made boneless, skinless pork ribs this way and they are pretty much to die for! I do boil them for an hour and make the sauce while they're cooking. I cook my sauce as well and it takes about 45 min to become very thick and sticky. Then I do the oven thing just like you and they are great. I've always been afraid of ribs with bones and this has given me some confidence. Thanks!!!

Because of you I've fallen in love with the venerable spoonula. Bought my first one a couple weeks ago after binge watching some of your videos- a nice silicone one with a bamboo handle. Now I want more of various sizes.

I'm never making ribs (in the house) any other way again! I just made this last week and I'm making it again because my family couldn't get enough of it! Thank you!

[saintbabylon]

Excellent! I was always worried about boil & baking my ribs for some reason but during the summer when I don’t want to use the oven these came out amazing! You can even boil & grill but I was surprised non the less.

I would like to mention a lot of people I’ve seen on youtube still believe or tend to over cook ribs til they are a mess falling apart completely off the bone before biting & if that’s what you want some shredded pulled pork then go for a pork roast, but ribs are suppose to have some bite & give to it. That’s what makes them bone in ribs. Best part is when you bite the meat it’s nicely firm but still slides off clean from the bone nothing left on it people but not falling all apart on it’s own. The perfect cooked ribs look like these in this video

I’ve tried this recipe, after watching this video when I first watched it 2 yrs. ago, and it was delectable. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Then I just tried couple of months ago, putting pineapple juice instead of just plain water, and putting a bit of apple cider vinegar at least 15 minutes before switching off the stove, it is more flavourful and delectable.

I DO believe you Chef John...because I have tried it! My family has always boiled and then baked their ribs and I have loved them. Thanks for the recipe. Eager to try the 5 spice.
