makes 4 servings
4 half-racks of pork spareribs
1 tablespoon all-purpose spice rub
fine sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Maple-Bourbon Barbecue Sauce (or a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce)
1. Remove the ribs from their packaging and blot dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle each rack with the spice rub and massage in. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Generously brush barbecue sauce onto the ribs and set into the slow cooker. Make sure to evenly coat both sides of each rack of ribs.
3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Once they are cooked through and tender, carefully remove from the slow cooker and lay in a single layer on a baking sheet line with aluminum foil. Brush more barbecue sauce onto the top of each rack of ribs.
4. Set the oven to broil and broil the ribs under the broiler until the sauce begins to bubble and caramelize. Serve immediately.
