Layer in Slow Cooker
  1. Place the ribs in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs, ensuring they’re well-coated. Cut them in half if necessary to fit.

Notes

If using other types of ribs, such as chicken or turkey, ensure they are halal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to three months. Reheat gently to maintain tenderness.
