Steps:
- Lay out the ribs on a large baking tray.
- Season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano. Rub in on all sides.
- Pour half the BBQ sauce over the ribs and brush to evenly coat all sides.

- Cover and cook on low for 7 - 8 hours, or high for 4 hours. Check after the allotted time, you want to make sure the meat is cooked through and tender, but you do not want it to be so tender it falls off the bone. If they seem a little tough, allow to cook an additional 30 minutes, as needed.
- Remove the ribs and transfer to wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Paint the ribs with additional BBQ sauce, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
- Broil HIGH for 5-8 minutes to caramelize the sauce, making it slightly charred and bubbly.

- Season the ribs. Season the ribs with your favorite rub or marinade before cooking.
- Cook the ribs on low heat. The low heat of the slow cooker will help to tenderize the ribs and prevent them from drying out.
- Cook the ribs for the recommended amount of time. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of ribs you are using and the desired level of doneness.
- Let the ribs rest before serving. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
