Instructions:

1. Prep the Ribs:

Remove the silver skin (membrane) from the back of the ribs if needed.

Season ribs with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Make the Sauce:

In a bowl, combine barbecue sauce, brown sugar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

3. Layer in Crockpot:

Lightly grease the crockpot insert.

Cut ribs into sections and layer them in the crockpot.

Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs, making sure they’re well coated.

4. Cook:

Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until ribs are tender and juicy.

5. Optional Finishing Touch:

For caramelized, sticky ribs: Transfer cooked ribs to a baking sheet, brush with more sauce, and broil for 3–5 minutes until slightly charred and glossy.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with coleslaw, cornbread, baked beans, or potato salad.
