Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds country-style pork ribs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
⅓ cup chili sauce
⅓ cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Brush ribs with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange 1/2 of the ribs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook in the preheated air fryer until ribs are fork-tender and fully cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer ribs to a baking pan and place in the preheated oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining ribs.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in chili sauce, apricot preserves, soy sauce, ginger, and chipotle pepper. Heat and stir until bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer ribs to a serving platter. Brush generously with glaze and garnish with chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are both good choices for air frying. Baby back ribs are leaner and cook faster, while spare ribs are meatier and have more flavor.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat from the ribs before cooking. This will help them crisp up in the air fryer.
  • Season the ribs: Use your favorite barbecue rub or seasoning blend to flavor the ribs. Be sure to season them liberally.
  • Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for at least 5 minutes before cooking the ribs.
  • Cook the ribs in batches: If you have a lot of ribs to cook, cook them in batches. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Flip the ribs halfway through cooking: Flip the ribs halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ribs. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • Let the ribs rest: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs.

Conclusion:

Air fryer country-style ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend gathering.
