Ingredients

Instructions
 

Preparing the Ribs:

  • If you're working with a full rack of ribs, cut it in half to create two manageable portions.

Applying the Dry Rub:

  • Sprinkle the dry BBQ rub evenly onto both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are well coated with the flavorful seasoning.

Air Frying Process:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Cooking Time:

  • Place the seasoned ribs in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry the ribs for 30 minutes, flipping them midway through the cooking time (at the 15-minute mark) to promote even cooking.

Adding BBQ Sauce:

  • Once the initial 30-minute cooking time is completed, carefully brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce onto the ribs.

Final Air Frying:

  • Return the sauced ribs to the air fryer and air fry for an additional 5 minutes. This will allow the BBQ sauce to caramelize and create a flavorful glaze.
