Method

In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. 3. Rub the spice mix all over the ribs, making sure they are coated evenly. 4. In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. 5. Place the ribs in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over them, making sure they are fully coated. 6. Cook the ribs on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. 7. Once the ribs are done cooking, carefully remove them from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet. 8. Brush them with additional barbecue sauce and broil them in the oven for a few minutes until they are charred and caramelized. 9. Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw or cornbread.
Notes
- If you prefer spicier ribs, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice rub. - Make sure to remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, as it can make them tough and chewy. - If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can use white vinegar instead.

Recipe Tips
- For even more flavor, you can marinate the ribs in the barbecue sauce overnight before cooking them in the slow cooker. - If you don't have a broiler, you can also finish the ribs on the grill or in a hot oven. - Make sure to remove any excess fat from the ribs before cooking them in the slow cooker, as it can make the sauce too greasy.
