These slow-cooked ribs are tender, flavorful, and coated in a delicious honey glaze.
Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs.
Removing the membrane helps the flavors penetrate the meat better.
Mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl to create the rub.
Ensure the spices are evenly mixed for a consistent flavor.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the ribs.
Massage the rub into the meat for better absorption.
Place the ribs into the slow cooker, arranging them to fit.
Cut the ribs into smaller sections if needed to fit in the slow cooker.
Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours until the ribs are tender.
Avoid opening the slow cooker during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Mix the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, and chili flakes in a bowl to prepare the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness or spiciness of the glaze to your preference.
Brush the glaze over the ribs and let them cook on low for an additional hour.
For a thicker glaze, you can reduce it on the stove before applying.
Serve the ribs warm with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
