Cooking Tips

• For extra smoky flavor, you can add a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the honey chipotle mixture.
• If you prefer spicier ribs, you can add more chipotle peppers or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
• To make cleanup easier, line the crock pot with a slow cooker liner before adding the ribs and glaze.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the ribs, place them in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the ribs as a main dish with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables.
