Ingredients:
- 2 racks of baby back ribs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite brand)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if it’s still attached. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of your crockpot.
- Arrange the seasoned ribs in the crockpot, standing them up against the walls of the pot with the meaty side facing outwards.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to combine.
- Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
- Once the ribs are done cooking, carefully remove them from the crockpot and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Preheat your oven broiler on high heat. Brush the ribs with some of the cooking liquid from the crockpot.
- Broil the ribs in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are nicely caramelized and slightly charred.
- Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
- Serve the ribs hot with your favorite side dishes, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or cornbread.
