Step 1

Lightly grease a 6 quart crock pot with cooking spray and add the onions to the bottom of the pot.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, add 1/2 cup of the BBQ sauce to the spices. Mix together to make a glaze, and brush it evenly over the ribs covering them on all sides.

Step 3

Place the ribs over top of the onion bed and cover the slow cooker with a lid.

Step 4

Cook the ribs on LOW for 6 - 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 - 4 hours (the low setting is preferable for this cut of meat, and I would recommend cooking it on low if it’s at all possible with your available time). Check to see how they are doing at the lower time. Ribs should read an internal temperature of 170 F on an instant read meat thermometer, and should be pull apart tender.

Step 5

When the ribs are done, heat up the rest of the BBQ sauce in a skillet over medium-low heat and gently toss the ribs and onions in the sauce. Plate, then garnish with parsley and serve.
