Method

  • step 1

    Put 4 tbsp of barbecue sauce along with the rest of the ingredients into your slow cooker. Top up with enough water to cover (roughly 1.5l). Slow cook on Low for 8 - 9 hours until very tender but not completely falling off the bone.

  • step 2

    Heat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas mark 7. Remove the ribs from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon or tongs. Handle them carefully as the meat will be very tender and may start to fall off. Baste with the remaining barbecue sauce and lay on a foil-lined oven tray. Cook for 20 – 30 mins until starting to crisp on outside. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue, turning from time to time until piping hot throughout.

RECIPE TIPS
GET AHEAD

You can cook this in the slow cooker the day before, baste in barbecue sauce, cover and refrigerate before oven-cooking or barbecuing.

Hello, thanks for your question! This isn't something we've tested in our test kitchen but we believe this could work in the same way as using stock. We wouldn't advise to keep it for longer than 48 hours refrigerated. Best wishes, Good Food team.

question

May be silly question, but what type of BBQ sauce is used. Is it one of those squeezy bottles, ie, tomato sauce, or is it specifically for cooking, ie, bottle of soy sauce

Hi, thanks for your question. The barbecue sauce needed for this recipe is sold alongside the tomato ketchup in the shops and is labelled 'barbecue sauce' (sometimes 'classic or 'original' barbecue sauce). Sometimes it comes in squeezy bottles or in glass bottles and is brown in colour and thick…
