Ingredients

½ cup (125ml) Rosella Organic Barbecue Sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
⅓ cup (80ml) water
8 pork spare ribs
Served with grilled corn, potato wedges and green salad

Method

Combine barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, stock cube, garlic salt, onion powder, paprika and water in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove and cool
Pour half the sauce over spare ribs. Refrigerate and marinate overnight or use immediately
Line the base of your air fryer basket with baking paper or foil. Arrange ribs into the basket in a single layer. Brush the tops with more barbecue sauce mixture. Set temperature to 160°C and timer 25 minutes. Turn ribs over and brush with more sauce. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Serve ribs with grilled corn on the cob, potato wedges and green salad

Tips & Hints

Adjust cooking times depending on the thickness of your spare ribs. Thinner spare ribs will require less cooking time
Rib rinds remain a little chewy. Remove rinds if preferred
Check the capacity of your air fryer basket. If smaller, cook spare ribs in batches and keep warm in a low 150°C oven while cooking remaining ribs
If you don’t have an air fryer, cook on a hot BBQ for 10-15 minutes.
