So tasty!
Loved this recipe, it was so delicious! I tweaked some parts but followed the process and ribs turned out amazing. Would definitely make again and follow it more closely if I had all the ingredients! Thanks, Marion!
Finger lickin good
So easy to prepare and make in an air fryer – just ten minutes of cooking time per batch! However, due to the quick cooking method the ribs are still a bit tough and some thicker pieces of ribs may not be fully cooked through. Smaller pieces turn out better.
The sauce was the best part, so delicious: savoury, sweet and a bit smoky. I would make this again, the sauce, but need to find a way to make it more tender, perhaps parboiling??
