Description

Tender air-fried pork ribs are brushed with a chili, apricot, and ginger glaze that's finger-licking delicious!

Ingredients

• 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 (Optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Transfer ribs to a serving platter. Brush generously with glaze and garnish with chives.
