👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Ribs

1. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs (this helps tenderness).

2. Pat dry with paper towels.

3. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder.

4. Rub seasoning all over both sides of the ribs.

2️⃣ Slow Cook

1. Cut ribs into sections (so they fit in your crockpot).

2. Place them standing upright along the inside of the slow cooker.

3. Mix barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.

4. Pour half the sauce mixture over the ribs (reserve the rest for later).

5. Cover and cook:

   • LOW for 6–8 hours

   • OR HIGH for 3–4 hours

Ribs should be very tender but not falling apart completely.

3️⃣ Broil for Sticky Finish (Highly Recommended 🔥)

1. Preheat oven broiler.

2. Carefully transfer ribs to a foil-lined baking sheet.

3. Brush generously with remaining barbecue sauce.

4. Broil 3–5 minutes until caramelized and slightly charred.

💡 Tips for Best Ribs

✔ Baby back ribs cook slightly faster than St. Louis style.
✔ Don’t add extra liquid — ribs release juices while cooking.
✔ For extra smoky flavor, add ½ teaspoon liquid smoke to the sauce.
