Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork baby back ribs
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce (your favorite)
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Honey
Directions
Step 1
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by inserting a knife under it and pulling it off in one piece, if possible.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar to make a dry rub.
Step 3
Generously rub the spice mixture over the ribs, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
Step 4
Cut the ribs into 2 or 3 sections to fit them easily into your slow cooker.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey until well combined.
Step 6
Place the rib sections into the slow cooker and pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the top, ensuring all the ribs are coated.
Step 7
Set your slow cooker to low heat and cook the ribs for 8 hours, or until they are tender and falling off the bone.
Step 8
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Step 9
Brush a generous layer of additional BBQ sauce over the ribs and broil in the oven on high for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce caramelizes and gets slightly sticky.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw or cornbread, and enjoy!
