Instructions
To make the Spice Rub: Stir together all spices and set aside.
Rub the Spice Rub evenly over the meat.
Use about 1/2 bottle of BBQ sauce to cover the top of the ribs and spices.
Rub gently to work the sauce into the spices.
Spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Transfer the ribs to your slow cooker.
Stand them up-if your slow cooker is large enough.
Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours or High for about 5 hours OR until ribs are fall apart tender.
After the ribs have finished cooking in the slow cooker, transfer them to a foil lined baking sheet. They will fall apart!!
Cover the ribs with the rest of the BBQ sauce.
Turn on the broiler in your oven.
I set my oven to Broil 400 degrees.
Place pan in the oven and broil for about 10-15 minutes OR until the sauce has set on the ribs and caramelized.
Watch ribs the whole time they are in the oven. They will burn if your are not careful!!!
