Steps

1Prep the ribs
2Remove any membrane from the back of the ribs and cut them in half. Then season the ribs on both sides with all of the spice rub. Using your fingertips to press the rub into the ribs so that it sticks.
3Pour the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar into the base of the slow cooker and then add the smashed garlic, sliced onion, and bay leaf. Place the ribs on top of the onions, on top of each other, meat side up.
4Cover the slow cooker and cook the ribs on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 5-6 hours or until the ribs are tender and a sharp knife can easily pierce the meat. The meat should be tender but not completely falling off the bone.
5Once the ribs are fully cooked, remove them from the slow cooker and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Set your oven to high broil.
6Liberally brush the ribs with barbecue sauce until completely covered. Then, place the ribs in the oven and broil on high for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to bubble and caramelize. Watch them carefully so they don’t burn. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
