I’ve seen BBQ Corn Ribs being made a lot recently, so I decided to give them a try. They don’t look or taste anything like ribs, but they are a fun version of corn on the cob. It definitely takes some effort and care to cut the whole corn into the “rib” strips. 

You can imagine that they kind of resemble ribs, so you hold the little strips like you would ribs and munch the corn off of the cob. All you need is corn on the cob, a good knife, some spices and a hot barbecue.

They make a great side dish for a bbq or a picnic and offer loads of flavour.
