Air Fryer Tender Juicy Smoked BBQ Ribs

Ingredients

1 rack ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
2-3 tablespoons pork rub I used Kansas City Gate’s classic BBQ rub or McCormick’s Grill Mates Pork Rub is another option
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup BBQ sauce

Directions

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Cut the ribs in half or so the ribs are able to fit in the air fryer.

Drizzle the liquid smoke over both sides of the ribs. Season both sides with the pork rub, salt and pepper.

Cover the ribs and allow the ribs to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Add the ribs to the air fryer. It is OK to stack the ribs.

Cook for 15 minutes on 360 degrees. Open the air fryer. Flip the ribs. Cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Remove the ribs from the air fryer. Drizzle the ribs with BBQ sauce.
