Instructions

  1. Season country-style ribs: Pat them dry with kitchen towels and place them in the slow cooker. Mix the spices in a small bowl and rub the ribs with the mixture.2 tablespoons brown sugar + ¾ tablespoon sweet paprika powder + ¼ tablespoon smoked sweet paprika powder + ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper + 1 teaspoon onion powder + 1 teaspoon garlic powder + 1 teaspoon fine sea salt + 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
  2. BBQ sauce: Mix all the sauce ingredients and pour them over the ribs in the pot. Toss well to coat.¾ cup ketchup (200 g) + ⅓ cup chili sauce (75 g) + 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar + 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce + 1 teaspoon oregano + fine sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Slow-cook the country-style pork ribs for 6-8 hours on LOW or 3-4 hours on HIGH; they should be fork tender and almost falling off the bone.
  4. Serve: Transfer the ribs to a serving platter. You can remove the bones before serving or leave them. Spoon a bit of the sauce over the meat and serve.

Notes

  • You can cook up to 4 lbs/ 1.8 kg ribs if your slow cooker is large enough (7-8 quart/ 6 ½ - 7 ½ liter). The meat pieces should lie comfortably in the pot, but just a bit of overlapping is fine.
  • You can choose another seasoning mixture if you like.
  • If using smoked hot paprika powder, leave out the cayenne pepper.
  • Alternatively, use 1 cup/ 250 g of your favorite BBQ sauce.
