Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds country style ribs boneless or bone-in
  • 2 teaspoons pork rub *see notes
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel.
  2. Sprinkle both the top and bottom with the pork rub.
  3. Put them in the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 400 degrees F. Cook for 17 minutes for boneless ribs and 20 minutes for bone in. Flip them over after 10 minutes of cooking time.
  4. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. For the most tender pork, cook until they reach 185 degrees F - 195 degrees F.
  5. Brush the tops of the country style ribs with barbecue sauce.
  6. Cook at 380 degrees F for 3 minutes. This caramelizes the sauce and helps it coat the ribs.
