Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce (your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Spray the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly onto all sides of the country-style pork ribs.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on each side until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if you're short on time.
Step 5
Transfer the seared ribs to the crock pot.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Pour this mixture over the ribs in the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Step 8
Optional: For a caramelized finish, remove the ribs from the crock pot and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush with additional barbecue sauce if desired and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Step 9
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
