These are the kind of ribs you throw in the crockpot, turn the game on, and let that bad boy do the work. Tender, sticky, sweet, smoky, and messy in the best way. 😂🍖 🍖 Ingredients * 3–4 lbs pork baby back or St. Louis-style ribs * 1 tbsp smoked paprika * 1 tbsp brown sugar * 2 tsp garlic powder * 2 tsp onion powder * 1 tsp black pepper * 1 tsp kosher salt * ½ tsp cayenne pepper, optional * 1 cup barbecue sauce * ¼ cup honey * ¼ cup brown sugar * 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce * 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar * 1 tbsp Dijon mustard * 1 tbsp soy sauce * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 1 tsp liquid smoke, optional 🔥 Tailgate Method 1. Prep those ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and cut the racks into 2–3 rib sections. 2. Season: Mix paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, and cayenne. Rub it all over those ribs. Don’t be shy with it. 😤 3. Make the sticky sauce: Mix barbecue sauce, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, soy sauce, garlic, and liquid smoke. 4. Load the crockpot: Add a little sauce to the bottom, stack the ribs inside, then pour the remaining sauce over everything. 5. Low and slow: Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3½–4½ hours, until tender. 6. Get that sticky finish: Carefully transfer the ribs to a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush them with sauce from the crockpot and broil for 3–5 minutes until bubbling, caramelized, and sticky. 7. Serve: Hit them with another light brush of sauce and bring plenty of napkins. 😂 Tailgate move: Serve them with baked beans, mac & cheese, slaw, corn, or loaded potato wedges. And if you’re feeding a crowd, keep the finished ribs warm in the crockpot. #TheTailga#TheTailgateTable#BBQ #gamedayfood #BBQRibs - @thetailgatetable
