Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor absorption.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Ribs

    Rub the dry mixture generously over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Slow Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs in a slow cooker, bone side down. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until they are tender.

  2. 5

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.

  3. 6

    Glaze the Ribs

    Once the ribs are cooked, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs and grill for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until caramelized.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
