Tips for making BBQ ribs in the air fryer
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before seasoning. This will help the rub to adhere better and will also make the ribs more tender.
- Use a good quality BBQ sauce, or make your own. Brush the sauce on the ribs during the last few minutes of cooking to avoid burning.
- Cook the ribs in small batches to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding the air fryer basket can lead to uneven cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature of the ribs should reach 145°F for safe consumption.
- Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the ribs even more tender.
- Experiment with different seasonings and sauces to find your favorite combination. You can use dry rubs, marinades or even injecting the meat with your favorite sauce.
- If you want to add some smoke flavor you can use a smoking gun or wood chips, this will give the ribs a nice smoky flavor.
- Be mindful of the cooking time since it can vary depending on the size of your ribs, adjust accordingly.
- Don't forget to spray the air fryer basket with oil before cooking to avoid sticking
