Method
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.
Pat the riblets dry thoroughly with kitchen paper.
Toss with the olive oil.
Mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chilli flakes.
Coat the riblets thoroughly until every piece is fully seasoned.
Place into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 20–24 minutes, turning halfway through.
While the pork cooks, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
Once the riblets are browned and cooked through, toss them thoroughly in the glaze.
Return to the air fryer for 4–5 minutes until the glaze becomes thick, sticky, and heavily caramelised.
Remove and allow to rest for 2 minutes.
Pile onto a tray and serve immediately.
