These ribs are everything you want. Easy to make and OH SO DELICIOUS. They will literally fall off the bone and you will be licking every bit of yummy sauce from your fingers.
In a small bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients until well incorporated
In a medium bowl (or lager than 2 cup measuring cup) stir together all the liquid ingredients, saving about ⅓ cup of the BBQ sauce
Rub the ribs on all sides with the sugar rub
Place the ribs inside the slow cooker. You can cut them in half or just wrap them around to make them fit
Pour the Coke/BBQ mixture over the ribs and all around the sides
Cook on low for 8 hours
Ribs will be wet at this point, see notes if you want sticky ribs
Notes
You can eat as is at this stage.
If you like your ribs stickier then do the following:
Gently remove ribs from the slow cooker, place on a foil-lined baking tray, and baste with the remaining BBQ sauce. They will be fall off the bone tender so be careful if you want to keep them intact.
If they have been cut in half, you can put them in an air-fryer at 400℉ for up to 5 minutes until they are dark and sticky.
If you have a whole slab, place them in a preheated broiler for about the same amount of time.
Whether you use the air-fryer or broiler, keep a close eye on them, the sugar will burn very quickly
