Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 lbs country style pork ribs
- 1 cup broth (chicken or beef)
- 1 can chipotle sauce (7.76 oz)
- 2 tbs soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tbs balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbs brown sugar
- 1 tbs pork rub
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Optional Ingredients:
- 1 cup huckleberry BBQ sauce (or favorite BBQ sauce)
Instructions
- Defrost country style pork ribs if frozen. Arrange ribs in your slow cooker.
- Mix broth, chipotle sauce, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar in a measuring cup. Whisk in brown sugar, pork rub, salt, garlic, and ground ginger, then pour over the ribs. Make sure that every piece is covered with the sauce.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and lock it into place. Set the temperature dial to low. Set a timer for 6 hours. Check ribs after 5 hours; if necessary, cook for up to 6 hours.
Optional Step:
- Once the ribs are ready, remove from the slow cooker and place on a foil-lined tray. Brush ribs with BBQ sauce, then broil for a minute or two until slightly charred.
Notes
- Don't skip the broil! This step is optiona, but recommended. The slow cooker makes the ribs tender, but the broiler gives you a crave-worthy finish!
- If you want to go the extra mile, sear the ribs before cooking. It adds a deeper, richer flavor.
- Keep a close eye on the ribs while broiling. They can go from perfect to burnt in a few seconds!
- Store leftover ribs in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
