    Would be nice if this differentiated ribs vs frozen ribs.

      Thanks for your comment, John. I’ll edit the recipe to specifically call out that these are not frozen ribs.

    This was incredibly easy to make and so delicious that I am making it again right now. Feel free to substitute other spices for the smoked paprika.

    What setting is used for cooking? Air Fry or Bake?

      Hi, Chris – All of our recipes focus on ‘air fry’ since many people don’t have other settings on their appliances.

    Hello, my boneless ribs were good, but not fall apart tender good. I didn’t marinade them, I brushed w oil and seasoned . Applied BBQ sauce half way through. Any suggestions? Thanks

      Country style ribs must be cooked slowly and to an internal temperature of 190 degrees F. While the ribs will be edible at 140 F they won’t be fall apart tender until the connective tissue is dissolved ( not sure that is the right word) and that happens at 180 – 190 or so. Just like cooking a Boston Bitt as the country style ribs are cut from butts. And you do it slowly to help keep the moisture in..

    Query…..does the cooking time change if you cook 2-3 lbs of ribs?

      Bill, yes it will. The amount of food in relationship to the capacity of your air fryer impacts the cooking time. If you have a big enough air fryer to cook three pounds of ribs at once, you’ll need to increase the cooking time, especially if the ribs are crowded together.

    I made these tonight and they turned out so delicious! I have the new Samsung oven that has the Air Fry built in so no pre-heating necessary which is a great feature compared to other air fryers. I cook everything in my air fryer now! It’s so EASY!!

    Whenever I want to thaw meat, I always use cold tap water. Cover it, change the water every 30 minutes until thawed. I thawed some bacon yesterday, and it only took about 20 minutes in the water. I would imagine that ribs would only be 30-45 minutes… if they’re not completely thawed by then, they’d be pretty darn close and you could toss them on the egg.

    New to using air fryer – I have pampered chef deluxe af with 2 trays – so I could cook a lb of country style ribs on each tray (on parchment)?

      Hi, Betty – I’m not familiar with that air fryer, but I would definitely think you could do that. It could take a little longer to cook, though.

    Cannot find a way to print the recipe.
    Nearly impossible to read it without interference from the ads.

      Hi, Keith – There is a PRINT button under the square photo of the dish within the recipe card on this (and every) recipe page on the site. Clicking that will open a new window that you can print from. Hope this helps!

    Want to make these tonight, do I use the rack or the basket

      Hi, Jeanne – I don’t know your exact set up, but I would venture to say you could use either. We put these directly in/on the basket and didn’t use a rack. With a raised rack, I’m guessing that’s even more open than the bottom of the basket, so the air would flow better and the meat would likely cook faster. I’d be sure to check the temp with a meat thermometer at 10 minutes and then every minute or two until your meat is up to temp.

      I probably would not, I would just place it in the refrigerator a day or two before you cook your roast. Air fryers are great for external crisping, but are not the best defrosters.
