Oven Baked Chipotle
BBQ Pork Ribs
Grab the napkins—these Oven-Baked Chipotle BBQ Pork Ribs are sticky, saucy, fall-off-the-bone tender, and absolutely loaded with smoky chipotle flavor. While a grill or smoker is always a joy to use, there’s something magical about how your oven can deliver the same melt-in-your-mouth texture with zero fuss. Especially when the grill is covered in snow or you just don’t have hours to babysit a smoker.
The real magic here comes from the rub and the homemade chipotle BBQ sauce. Do not be intimidated by the idea of homemade sauce—this isn’t a project. You literally mix the ingredients in a jar with a spoon. That’s it. No simmering, no special equipment, no fuss. Just shake, stir, and slather.
It’s easy. It’s bold. It’s everything you want in a cozy oven-baked rib dinner.
Let's talk about this BBQ sauce.
What You’ll Need
For the fast, jar-mixed homemade BBQ sauce:
- Ketchup
- Yellow Mustard
- Molasses
- Brown Sugar
- Garlic Powder
- Chipotle Purée
- White Wine Vinegar
- Salt + Pepper
- Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Once the ribs are seasoned, simply let the oven do the heavy lifting. Slow, gentle heat creates that tender pull-apart texture while the sauce caramelizes into sticky perfection.
Serve with roasted potatoes, greens, cornbread, or anything that can mop up the extra sauce. It’s the kind of easy comfort food that feels special but works perfectly as a midweek meal.
Pro Tip:
For even deeper flavor, season your ribs and refrigerate them overnight. The dry rub soaks in beautifully and makes the meat extra tender and flavorful.
