How To Reheat Ribs

I have been asked a few times now about reheating ribs in the air fryer and wanted to share how we do it in the Milner house.

What I did was bulk buy some Iceland BBQ ribs and cooked them in the air fryer (check out our air fryer frozen ribs here) and then saved a load of the ribs to reheat the next day.

My main goal is that the barbecue ribs must taste better than the first time around.

That these barbecue ribs would have the wow factor and have us fighting over the last rib.

Well, it did, and this is my guide for you of how to reheat ribs.

Reheating Ribs Ingredients

Reheating Ribs Ingredients

Ribs – You will need some leftover ribs. I recommend that you place them in the fridge after eating and then reheat your leftover ribs within 3 days. You can do as little as 3 ribs or as many as 12 ribs at once in the air fryer.

Sauce – I also love to have some extra barbecue sauce. You can toss the ribs (once reheated) in the barbecue sauce and they will be even better than when they were first cooked.

Then for the kitchen gadgets that we have used in these reheated air fryer ribs recipe it has just been our Cosori air fryer. We have this one and its wonderful for many types of air fryer recipes.

Plus, we recommend you head over to our air fryer recipes category as we have more than 500 tried and tested air fryer recipes and have been air frying for 10 years.

The secret to making your ribs tender in the air fryer during a reheat, is the temperature.

If you reheat ribs in air fryer at a high temperature it will dry out the ribs and they will no longer be tender.

This is because you don’t want to cook your ribs, you simply want to reheat.

Spray – Spraying with extra virgin olive oil is 100% optional. I find that you get a light crisp on them without, but you might prefer them more crispy than we do.
