- Place the ribs in a large saucepan and cover them with water.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until the ribs are almost tender.
- Meanwhile, combine the Rib Marinade ingredients in a large bowl and the Rib Dry Rub ingredients in a small bowl.
- Drain the ribs, add them to the marinade, and turn to coat them well.
- Remove the ribs from the marinade and sprinkle the dry rub all over them.
- Use your hands to massage the dry rub into the ribs.
- Spray the ribs with oil.
- Preheat a 5- or 6-quart air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
- Carefully pull out the air-fryer pan and basket.
- Arrange the ribs in the basket, standing up and leaning against the side of the basket and each other.
- Slide the pan and basket back into the appliance.
- Reset the temperature to 325°F and set the timer for 20 minutes.
- Allow the ribs to cook.
- Brush the ribs with three-quarters of the barbecue sauce.
- Set the timer for 10 minutes and cook until they are tender and glazed.
- Meanwhile, combine the coleslaw mix, apple slices, and dressing in a medium bowl.
- Serve the ribs by cutting them into serving-sized pieces, brushing them with the remaining barbecue sauce, and serving them with the apple coleslaw.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
You can prepare the ribs up to the end of step 2 a day ahead and refrigerate them until needed. As the ribs will be chilled, you may need to add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time.
