Enjoy tender and flavorful BBQ pork ribs made effortlessly in your slow cooker.
Cut the pork ribs into serving portions, typically two ribs per section.
Cutting the ribs into smaller portions helps them cook evenly and makes serving easier.
Season both sides of the rib portions with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Ensure an even coating of seasoning for balanced flavor.
Place the ribs on a broiler pan and broil for about 10 minutes per side, or until they are browned and slightly crisp.
Broiling the ribs before slow cooking adds a nice caramelized crust.
Slice the yellow onion into rings and layer them at the bottom of the slow cooker.
The onions will infuse the ribs with a subtle sweetness as they cook.
Place the rib portions on top of the onion layer in the slow cooker. Pour the smoky barbecue sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Coating the ribs thoroughly with sauce ensures they absorb maximum flavor.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for about 8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat and moisture.
Serve the ribs hot, garnished with additional barbecue sauce if desired, alongside your favorite sides.
Pair with classic barbecue sides like coleslaw or baked beans for a complete meal.
