Equipment
- 1 slow cooker
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back pork ribs trimmed and silver skin removed from the backside of the ribs
- 1/4 cup BBQ Rub
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Arrange the ribs on a flat surface and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut both racks in half. Remove the silver skin from the back of the rack and trim any excess fat.
- Coat the ribs with the dry rub on both sides of the rack patting the rub to help it stick to the meat. (You can prep the ribs and refrigerate up to 24 hours in advance.)
- Whisk together the chicken stock, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke.
- Arrange the ribs, with the cut ends of the bones facing the bottom of crock, in the slow cooker and pour the liquid over the ribs.
- Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
- Brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce and cook for 30 minutes longer.
- Serve with additional barbecue sauce.
