  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 6 hr 35 min
  • Servings 30

Ingredients

  • 1 rack (3 pounds) pork back ribs, cut lengthwise across bones in half, then cut into 1-rib pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (from 7-ounce can)
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place riblets in cooker. Sprinkle with garlic.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 7 hours or until ribs are tender.
  • 3
    About 35 minutes before serving, mix remaining ingredients in 2-cup glass measuring cup or small bowl. Drain and discard juices from cooker. Pour or spoon sauce over riblets, stirring gently to coat evenly. Increase heat setting to high; cover and cook 25 to 30 minutes or until riblets are glazed.
  • 4
    Turn to low heat setting to serve. Riblets will hold on low heat setting up to 2 hours.

  • For these smaller, party-sized pieces, be sure to ask your butcher to cut the ribs lengthwise across the bones, then crosswise into one-rib pieces.
  • Out of fresh garlic? Check your spice rack. One medium clove of garlic is equal to 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder or 1/4 teaspoon instant minced garlic.
