How to Reheat Ribs
Wrap ribs tightly in foil with a splash of apple juice or broth and reheat at 275F for 25-30 minutes. The foil traps steam and prevents the bark from drying out. Apply fresh sauce in the last 5 minutes uncovered if you want a sticky glaze. The air fryer works for individual ribs (375F, 5-7 minutes) but tends to dry out the edges.
