Instructions

Trim the membrane and rub the racks with a brown sugar–spice mixture.
Make a bold sauce of soy, balsamic, garlic and honey.
Curl the ribs into the slow cooker, pour in some sauce and braise on low for about 8 hours.
Reserve some sauce, then reduce and thicken it on the stove.
Broil the ribs briefly after brushing with sauce for a sticky, caramelized finish.

Notes

Sweet chili sauce adds a sweet-heat profile; substitute with hoisin or BBQ sauce if you prefer.
