🛒 INGREDIENTS
🍖 1 rack baby back ribs
🔥 1½ tbsp BBQ dry rub
🧄 1 tsp salt, pepper & garlic seasoning (SPG)
🌶️ 1 tbsp coarse black pepper
🧂 1 tsp MSG (optional)
✨ 2 tsp baking powder
🥢 1 bottle Asian Zing wing sauce

👨🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ PREP & SEASON: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, then slice the rack into individual bones. Toss with BBQ rub, SPG, black pepper, MSG, and baking powder until every rib is evenly coated.
2️⃣ AIR FRY OR BAKE: Arrange the ribs in your air fryer basket or on a sheet pan for the oven. Cook at 350°F for 20 minutes, flip, then cook for another 20 minutes until tender and cooked through.
3️⃣ GET STICKY: Dunk each rib into the Asian Zing sauce, coating all sides, then return to the air fryer or oven for another 3–5 minutes until that sauce gets beautifully caramelized and STICKY!! 🔥🤤
4️⃣ GARNISH & DEVOUR: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh sliced scallions, then dig in!! 🥢🍖
