  • Add the ribs to the inside of the slow cooker; it may be necessary to cut into a couple of pieces so that they will fit. Pour all but ½ cup of the barbecue sauce over the ribs. Cover with the lid and cook until the meat is tender, 6 to 7 hours on low, or 3 to 4 hours on high.

  • When the ribs are almost done, preheat the oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the outside starts to caramelize. Remove from the oven and serve.
