Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Ribs
Ingredients
- 5 lbs pork baby back ribs
Spice rub:
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Sauce:
- 1 ½ cups honey
- ¾ cup soy sauce
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 10 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Cut each rack of ribs in half. In a small bowl, whisk together paprika, garlic powder, mustard powder, ginger, salt, allspice and cayenne pepper. Rub spice mixture on both sides of each rack of ribs.
- Place ribs on a large slow cooker, with wide ends down and meaty sides facing the wall. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the ribs are fall off the bone tender.
- Meanwhile, combine together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Preheat the broiler on high. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Carefully transfer ribs to the prepared baking sheet, meaty-side down. Brush sauce over the ribs and broil for 4 minutes. Carefully turn the ribs over, generously brush them with more sauce and continue to broil for another 4 minutes, or until the ribs are browned.
- Remove ribs from the heat and tent with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Sprinkle top with sesame seeds and serve with leftover sauce on the side.
