Preparation
Step 1
Pat dry the rack of ribs with a paper towel and rub on your dry ingredients on both sides.
Step 2
In the Instant Pot, combine apple juice, vinegar, liquid smoke, and 1/3 cup of BBQ sauce.
Step 3
Coil the rack of ribs inside the pot with the bone-side facing the center. Ribs should all be partially submerged. Cook on high pressure for 25 min followed by a 10 min natural pressure release before manually releasing remaining pressure.
Step 4
Using two sets of tongs, carefully transfer ribs to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack with the meat side up. Brush the top and sides with the remaining 1/3 cup BBQ sauce. Broil in the center of the oven on high for 4-5 min. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 min before serving. Serve with more BBQ sauce if desired.

Chef's notes
To Finish Ribs on the Grill:
Preheat the grill to 350-400˚F. Place ribs directly on preheated grill, cover, and grill for 5 min.
To Finish Ribs in the Air Fryer:
Cut rack in half and place both halves side by side in the air fryer basket for 4 min on high.
