#### Ingredients:

- 2 cups (500ml) barbecue sauce

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

- 3 tablespoons minced garlic

- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (optional for a hint of spice)

- 2 kg (4 pounds) baby back pork ribs

- Salt, to taste

- Black pepper, to taste


#### Instructions:


1. **Prepare the Slow Cooker:**

   - Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.


2. **Prepare the Ribs:**

   - Remove the inner skin (membrane) from the ribs by sliding a knife under the membrane and pulling it off. Discard the membrane.

   - Place the ribs in the slow cooker.


3. **Make the Sauce:**

   - In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to combine.


4. **Cook the Ribs:**

   - Pour half of the barbecue sauce mixture over the ribs, making sure they are well coated.

   - Season the ribs with a good amount of salt and pepper.

   - Cover with the lid and cook on a low setting for 7-9 hours, or on a high setting for 3-5 hours. *See notes for timing.


5. **Prepare for Broiling:**

   - Preheat your oven to 400°F (220°C).

   - Carefully transfer the ribs to an oven tray (or baking sheet) lined with parchment paper. The ribs will be very tender and may fall apart, so handle them gently.

   - Pour half of the juices from the slow cooker bowl into the remaining barbecue sauce.


6. **Broil the Ribs:**

   - Baste the ribs with half of the reserved barbecue sauce.

   - Place the tray in the preheated oven and broil (grill) for about 10 minutes, or until the edges begin to char and crisp.


7. **Serve:**

   - Serve the ribs with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.


8. **Enjoy!!!**


#### Notes:

- **Cooking Times:** Slow cookers


can vary, so adjust the cooking time as needed. The ribs are done when they are tender and easily pull away from the bone.

- **Membrane Removal:** Removing the membrane helps the seasoning and sauce penetrate the ribs better and results in a more tender bite.

- **Broiling:** Keep a close eye on the ribs while broiling to avoid burning. The goal is to achieve a nice char without overcooking.


These slow cooker BBQ baby back ribs are sure to be a hit with their rich flavor and tender texture. Enjoy your meal!
