Boneless country style ribs: this is meat that comes from the pork shoulder and can easily be found right in the grocery store.
Barbecue sauce: use your favorite barbecue sauce, we love Sweet Baby Ray's.
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Creole seasoning: I highly recommend Tony Chachere's creole seasoning.
Ground ginger
Dried parsley
Black pepper
Brown sugar: light or dark brown is fine, darker sugar will give a deeper flavor.
Chicken broth: use premade chicken broth, or make your own with a a cup of water and broth concentrate. I love caldo de pollo or better than bouillon chicken base.
🔪 Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, creole seasoning, ground ginger, dried parsley, black pepper and brown sugar.
2. Generously coat all sides of the ribs with the seasoning mixture.
3. Add the chicken broth and ¼ cup of barbecue sauce to the instant pot and whisk to combine.

📖 Variations
- Substitute apple juice or beef broth for the chicken broth
- Add ½ teaspoon liquid smoke to the cooking liquid to boost flavor.
- Change the spices to your favorite flavors, you may want to use chili powder in place of ground ginger to add a little bit of heat to the rub.
💭 Tips
- When mixing the spices and sugar, be sure there are no lumps of brown sugar remaining.
- Make sure that you do a natural release, a quick release removes the pressure immediately letting out the steam that a natural release uses to continue cooking and tenderizing the meat.
- Make your own homemade bbq sauce to glaze the ribs.
🙋 FAQ's
A country style rib is meat that is taken from the fatty muscular section of the shoulder blade of the pig. Bone-in country style ribs usually means part of the shoulder blade is in the rib and not a rib bone.
I do not recommend doing so as spare ribs usually are a bone in rib and the cooking time will need to be different.
