Baby Back Ribs (cooked partly in crock pot)
Special Supplies:
*Crock Pot
*1/2 Baking Sheets
*Aluminum Foil
Ingredients:
*
*3 pounds Pork Loin Baby Back Ribs, remove membrane or silver skin, if desired
*1 cup Sprite or Water or Chicken Stock
*Aluminum Foil
Rub:
*
*1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
*1/2-1 teaspoon Chipotle Chili Pepper
*1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
*1 teaspoon Onion Powder
*1 teaspoon Sea Salt
*1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
Instructions:
If you wish to remove the membrane/silver skin, see this You Tube Video
*
Spread the rub all over the ribs on both sides and place on a large piece of foil and wrap lightly. (The foil is used to prevent the grease from splattering all over in the oven.) Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400*F. for 40-45 minutes. (This step is to help remove fat and browning remove foil the last 10 for extra browning if desired.)
*
Remove the ribs from the oven and take off the foil and place ribs onto crock pot with liquid of choice. Cook on high for 3-4 hours.
*
Then place ribs on a foil covered 1/2 baking sheet and bake them in a 350* oven for 20-30 minutes, basting/brushing with balsamic glaze every ten minutes.
Option Note: I like to remove ribs from crock pot and allow them too cool slightly on a large piece of aluminum foil, wrap ribs in foil and place ribs in the fridge until the next day. Then the next day add the balsamic glaze and place them on a foil covered 1/2 baking sheet and bake in the oven on 350*F. for 30-40 minutes basting/brushing on the balsamic glaze every ten minutes. Note that the last (10 minutes) basting/brushing is when you baste or brush with your **favorite barbecue sauce.
