Rub oil over each side of the ribs and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the 5-Spice seasoning, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt/pepper.
Sprinkle the dry rub over each side of the ribs and use your hands to press it into the meat. Cut ribs so that they fit into the Crock-Pot Express.
Set temperature on the Crock-Pot Express to HIGH, and adjust the time to 30 minutes. Place the ribs on the cooking rack, inside of the Crock-Pot Express, and add ¼ cup water to bottom of the Crock-Pot Express. Place the Removeable Crisping Lid on top and press the START/STOP button.
After the ribs are done cooking, cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
