Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Spray slow cooker with cooking spray
- 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
