Place the country-style pork ribs on a clean cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto all sides of the ribs.
Arrange the seasoned ribs in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and liquid smoke (if using). Stir until well combined.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
When the ribs are done, they should be fork-tender and easily fall apart.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, transfer the ribs to a baking sheet, brush them with additional barbecue sauce, and broil them in the oven for 3β5 minutes until slightly charred.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or mashed potatoes.
