In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper.

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the ribs, on both sides, until everything is well coated.

Place the ribs inside the crock pot by standing them up against the wall of the pot, thicker side down and meaty side against the pot.

Pour bbq sauce over the ribs, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Very carefully remove the ribs from the crackpot and place them on a baking pan lined with foil, bone side up.

Strain all of the juices that remain in the crackpot into a small saucepan.

Bring to a boil and allow to simmer and reduce by 1/3, about 15 minutes.

Put your oven's broiler on to high heat, with the broiler pan out 10 inches below the heating element.

When the broiler is preheated, brush the ribs with the sauce and broil for 3-4 minutes.

Take the ribs out and very carefully turn them over (so the meat side is up) brush with sauce and broil for an additional 9 minutes, taking them out once or twice to brush with sauce again.

Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Enjoy!
