rib tips

Chewy pork morsels

Rib tips are small, meaty pieces cut from the lower portion of spare ribs where the bone meets cartilage.

Popular in barbecue, especially Chicago-style, they're less uniform than traditional ribs but prized for their flavor and chewy texture: We ordered a half-pound of rib tips with hot links.

They're typically smoked or grilled and served with sauce.
