Ingredients for Country Style Ribs in the Instant Pot
- Country-style pork ribs: Tender and flavorful meat that becomes fall-off-the-bone delicious when cooked in the instant pot.
- Barbecue sauce: Adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the ribs, creating a rich and savory sauce for a finger-licking meal.
- Chicken broth: Infuses the ribs with moisture and depth of flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
