Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds bone-in country style pork ribs (calculate about 2 ribs per person)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon each of salt, garlic powder, onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ cup diced yellow or white onion
  • 2 cups bbq sauce - divided (Try with our guava bbq sauce!)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional but adds great flavor!)
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • The first step to making sure your country pork ribs turn out tender and juicy is brining them. Add the pork, water, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to a large ziploc bag and refrigerate over night.
  • When you're ready to cook the pork, discard the brine and add the meat to the slow cooker along with the onions, 1 cup of the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, liquid smoke and ½ cup water.
  • Cook on low for 8 hours.
  • After slow cooking, Set the oven to broil and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up).
  • Carefully transfer the ribs to the baking sheet and brush on about 1 cup of barbecue sauce.
    (I like to use a spatula to move the ribs instead of tongs since the pork ribs will be falling apart at this point)
  • Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes on each side. Keep a close eye on them. They'll be done when the sauce starts to bubble and you start to see a bit of darkening on the edges of the meat.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
