Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and better texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal
Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the compartments intact.
Separate the BBQ ribs and chicken from the sides to ensure even cooking. Place them directly in the air fryer basket.
Cover the sides with foil to prevent them from overcooking.
Step 3: Air Fry the BBQ Ribs, Chicken & Sides
BBQ Ribs & Chicken: Cook at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even heating and caramelization of the BBQ sauce.
Sides: After 8 minutes of cooking, place the sides in the air fryer on a small air fryer-safe dish and continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes until fully heated.
Extra Caramelization: For a more intense BBQ flavor, brush the ribs and chicken with extra BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes at 400°F.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the BBQ ribs, chicken, and sides from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce, cornbread, and your favorite sides.
