Do you love buffalo sauce? Then you will LOVE these Slow Cooker Buffalo Baby Back Ribs!
I lost count how many recipes I have on my site that have buffalo sauce in them. There is something so mouth-watering good about buffalo sauce. I flavor these ribs with ranch seasoning then douse them with the Frank’s Red Hot sauce. After 8 hours of cooking the ribs are juicy and tender.
I use one rack of pork baby back ribs. Be sure to remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs. The silver skin is a piece of shiny membrane that is along the curved backside of the ribs.
The fat that comes out of the ribs helps flavor the buffalo sauce and it helps mellow the heat from the buffalo sauce a bit.
I serve this meal with homemade mac and cheese and a salad. This is my favorite type of meal! For the mac and cheese, I use Barefoot Contessa’s recipe, but I leave off the breadcrumbs and tomatoes because my family isn’t having any of that, still a solid recipe for mac and cheese even without the toppings.
I hope you have a great day! I will be back after the weekend with another great recipe.

What you call sinew is actually silver skin. It is a muscle sheath that covers the muscle.
Sinew is actually a tendon or ligament.
