Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb country style ribs bone-in
  • 2 tablespoon pork dry rub
  • BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 360 F for 5 minutes
  • Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
  • Sprinkle the ribs the dry rub on both sides and pat with clean hands
  • Wrap the ribs in foil to help seal in the moisture
  • Cook the ribs for 20 minutes and then flip them over for 20+ more until they're cooked to your liking.
  • Brush on BBQ sauce and air fry for 1-2 minutes more to get that just grilled appearance.
  • Serve with your favorite BBQ fixings like coleslaw, baked beans, and corn bread.

Notes

Ribs done at 145 F but not fall off the bone until 175-180 F+
You can also cook boneless country-style ribs using this same method, but they might get done a few minutes early.
The ribs are tasty just with a dry rub, the added BBQ step is optional.
