All Shook Up Recipe: Apartment-Friendly Baked Ribs

No grill? No problem. These apartment-friendly ribs deliver all the smoky, saucy satisfaction of a backyard barbecue right from your oven. With a few simple steps and our bold All Shook Up Seasoning, you’ll get fall-off-the-bone ribs layered with sweet heat, tangy glaze, and deep, slow-cooked flavor, no smoker required.

The trick is cooking the ribs in three stages, locking in moisture first, then building a caramelized crust, and finally finishing with a sticky glaze made from pan drippings, your favorite BBQ sauce, and a kick of All Shook Up.

Ingredients

• 1 rack of pork ribs, trimmed and membrane removed
• 3 tablespoons All Shook Up Seasoning
• ½ cup BBQ sauce (your choice of sweet, spicy, or smoky)
  • Check out our own Chef-approved BBQ sauce recipe
• Drippings/juices from first bake (reserved)

Directions

1. Prep the ribs: Trim the rack and remove the membrane for maximum tenderness. Rub generously with All Shook Up Seasoning on both sides.
2. First bake (low & slow): Preheat oven to 300°F. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and bake on a sheet tray for 2.5 hours. Carefully pour off and save the drippings for later.
3. Second bake (set the bark): Remove foil, place ribs back in oven, and bake uncovered for 1 hour to develop a caramelized crust.
4. Make the glaze: In a small saucepan or dish, combine the reserved drippings, BBQ sauce, and another pinch of All Shook Up. Mix until evenly blended.
5. Final bake (sauce it up): Brush ribs generously with glaze, return to oven, and bake for 1 more hour uncovered, until sticky and tender.
6. Serve: Slice into ribs, drizzle with extra glaze, and enjoy right from your kitchen table.

Serving Tips

Weeknight treat: Pair with roasted vegetables or a simple side salad.

Classic comfort: Serve with mac and cheese, cornbread, or baked beans.

Party style: Cut into rib portions, glaze again, and pile high for an easy crowd-pleaser.
