Big Back Buffalo Ribs
These Buffalo Wing Style Ribs take everything people love about hot wings and bring it to tender, crispy pork ribs. They get seasoned with Uncle Dibbz Durtty Bird Rub, crisped up with a Delta Dust dredge, then tossed in a buttery Buffalo sauce for that wing night flavor in rib form.
