Notes
- You can cook up to 4 lbs/ 1.8 kg ribs if your slow cooker is large enough (7-8 quart/ 6 ½ - 7 ½ liter). The meat pieces should lie comfortably in the pot, but just a bit of overlapping is fine.
- You can choose another seasoning mixture if you like.
- If using smoked hot paprika powder, leave out the cayenne pepper.
- Alternatively, use 1 cup/ 250 g of your favorite BBQ sauce.
