This is one of the easiest, and most delicious Country Rib recipes you're gonna come across...I promise. There's a little bit of sweet heat on these tender braised ribs and they are easy peasy with one-pan-clean-up!
I first made this recipe on the stove top, but I wanted an easier recipe so I adjusted the cooking method for a slow cooker. I am so glad I did!
This is probably one of the best rib recipes you'll come across! Maple syrup and Sriracha gives a nice mild sweet and spicy flavor to the boneless ribs.
