BBQ Ribs
BBQ ribs are pork ribs rubbed with spice and sugar, then cooked low and slow, smoked or oven roasted for hours until the meat pulls easily from the bone.
Where it comes from
The technique of slow cooking tough cuts over indirect heat and smoke developed in the American South, where enslaved cooks and later pitmasters turned cheap cuts of meat into food worth the long cook time.
What cooks argue about
The live argument is sauce timing: brushing it on early lets it caramelize but risks burning over hours of smoke, while saucing only at the end avoids scorching but stays more of a coating.
