Notes
You can substitute Dry Pork Rub for the seasonings used above for the same results.
For Beef Ribs, adjust for more cooking time.
Most round basket Air Fryers won’t accommodate a full rack of ribs at one time. Prepare in batches if necessary. This recipe works really well for a Half Rack (7 Ribs) in a single batch.
My go-to BBQ sauce is KC Masterpiece – Original
