Making air fryer ribs that are fall off the bone is easier than you would think and the Ninja Foodi grill makes the process simple! I'm not sure why people are so challenged by making a rack of ribs. There are a lot of ways to make pork ribs but many of the methods are either wrong or unnecessary. A common and unnecessary method is the straight boil method. Your
essentially making a rib soup when you boil ribs. The rib boiling method often leaves the meat overcooked and not in a good way. Boiling ribs also stinks up the house. Instead of intensifying the pork flavors, boiling dilutes the flavor so it needs to be enhanced with a sauce. But air fryer ribs on the other hand get the job done without much if any flavor loss. There are a few benefits to cooking ribs in an air fryer
over cooking ribs in the oven. Air fryers are compact and this dish does not require you to fire up the oven, grill, or smoker. We use foil to tightly wrap the ribs so cooking them in an air fryer ribs is pretty simple to clean up. The foil also protects the sides of the ribs from burning as the meat shrinks and gets tender. Using an air fryer to cook ribs also gets you to chow time much quicker than other methods.
In this recipe, we cook 3-2-1 ribs on a smoker which is the most common method for cooking ribs outdoors. But the 3-2-1 part stands for the amount of time (in hours) it takes to cook the ribs. Sometimes I don't have 6 hours to cook, and this method takes just over an hour. Almost any air fryer will work for cooking ribs. The Ninja Foodi Grill is what is used for this recipe because of its capacity and efficiency. Capacity and efficiency are both things to take into consideration when cooking ribs in an air fryer. If the air fryer is underpowered you may need to cook them a little bit longer or in batches to achieve your desired doneness. A good quality air fryer will also work well for making other side dishes like
air fryer corn on the cob. You get fall off the bone ribs by cooking them tightly in foil. When pork ribs are wrapped in foil and cooked the meat steams and braises some in its own juices. Wrapping them tightly creates a closed environment which helps collagen and connective tissue break down. When the collagen breaks down
it turns to gelatin which melts away. The meat is left very tender and falling off the bone. Pork ribs really get tender and fall off the bone between 190-205F. Pork is technically cooked and safe to eat at 145F but the magic happens above 165F when the hard-working muscle fibers relax and become tender. Using tin foil is really the difference between tender ribs, and fall off the bone tender ribs! It also protects any sugary
add on's like your favorite bbq sauce or brown sugar from burning while cooking. The same hold's true for country-style ribs or beef short ribs, and you can see our method for making them in this recipe. This cooking method produced some nicely flavored ribs that were falling off the bone tender.
