Notes
Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the ribs. Smaller ribs will take less time, and larger ribs will take longer.
Should I cover country-style pork ribs while baking?
Yes, the pan with the ribs should be covered tightly during the first part of the baking process. When the ribs have reached 195-205 degrees, it's time to unwrap them, add the barbecue sauce, and continue to bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Even if you don't add BBQ sauce, place the ribs back into the oven to finish baking.
