Ingredients
  

  • 1 rack pork spare ribs
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup homemade BBQ sauce (extra for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the slab into smaller sections so the ribs fit easily into your pot.
  • Add the chicken stock, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to a large stock pot.
  • Place the ribs into the pot and bring everything to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Cover and simmer for about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until the ribs are very tender and almost falling apart.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and carefully transfer the ribs onto the tray.
  • Brush the ribs generously with homemade BBQ sauce on all sides.
  • Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, brushing with more sauce halfway through, until the ribs are sticky, caramelized, and slightly charred around the edges.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving.
