I love slow cooked ribs both on the smoker or in the oven. I get compliments on my ribs when I make them, and I make them a lot. So in an effort to break the mold, I decided to throw out everything that works and try something mad scientistish. I used the air fryer. So the only thing I kept was the the bourbon BBQ sauce. This saves me 2 hours of cooking time, not keeping the oven on during the summer, or standing by the smoker in 96 degree heat. Long story short, they came out great, tender, and flavorful.
