You can, but it is best to add bbq sauce on the tips after they have cooked. Add the bbq sauce right before putting the ribs in the broiler. Have a side of barbecue sauce on the side in case you want more.
What Rub Do I Use?
If you have a favorite rub, use that for sure. We used the Infidel Pork Rub from Grill Your Ass Off (Use Code THEEATTRAVELLIFE) for 10% OFF your order. It has a delicious spice mixture we wanted and a little bit of a kick to make your lips tingle.
Can I Add Apple Cider Vinegar To The Instant Pot?
