Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker and the thickness of the ribs. The meat should be tender and easily pull away from the bone.
Baste (Optional):
If desired, halfway through the cooking time, you can baste the ribs with the sauce from the bottom of the slow cooker using a basting brush. This helps in building flavor.
Finishing Touches:
Once the ribs are cooked to your desired tenderness, carefully remove them from the slow cooker and place them on a serving platter.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can transfer the remaining liquid from the slow cooker to a saucepan. Simmer it over medium heat until it thickens to your liking.
Serve:
Brush the ribs with the thickened sauce or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
Tips:
If you like a caramelized crust on your ribs, you can finish them in the oven after slow cooking. Place the cooked ribs on a baking sheet, brush them with additional barbecue sauce, and broil them for a few minutes until slightly charred.
Ensure the ribs are well coated with the sauce before starting the slow cooking process for maximum flavor infusion.
Adjust the seasoning and sweetness of the barbecue sauce according to your taste preferences.
