BBQ Back Ribs

Slendermike

I boil them then I bbq them, I know they are not good, but are they horrible for a diet?

Not terrible at all.

It's what you put on em that'll really make or break the dish. (most sauces are way sugary and high-cal)

Boiling em/grilling gets rid of most of the fat, that's quite a lot of calories eliminated (9cal per gram)

Regardless, there's way worse things you could be eating.

So the million dollar question - what do you put on them?

I have changed to a dry rub - then smoke them for a few hours.
But I will admin - I miss a wet mop on the ribs.
