Ingredients
- 4-5 pound pork ribs we used St. Louis style, but any pork ribs will work.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper powder divided in 2 equal parts
- 1 bottle bbq sauce (18 ounces)
- ¾ cup honey
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Whisk together the onion powder, garlic, pepper, paprika and 1 tsp of the chipotle powder in a small bowl.
- If needed, cut your rack of ribs so they will fit into the slow cooker, then rub ribs on all sides with the seasoning blend.
- In another bowl, whisk together the remaining chipotle powder*, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and barbecue sauce. Spread half of the mixture onto your ribs and set the other half aside.
- Cover and cook on high for 6 -7 hours or low for 8 - 10 hours.
- At this point you can serve with the remaining bbq sauce blend, or you can go one step further (which I highly recommend!).
- One step further: Lay cooked ribs on a baking sheet and brush on both sides with the remaining bbq sauce. Place on the center rack of your oven and broil for 5 - 7 minutes or until the ribs are caramelized to your liking. Watch closely to make sure they don't burn!
