BAKED BBQ CORN RIBS using Famous Dave's Award winning Rib Rub & BBQ Sauce! -Inspired by Viral TikTok

Ingredients

• 4 ears Corn on the Cob (fresh, husked)
• 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for seasoning, can use regular olive oil)
• 2 tablespoons Dave's Famous Rib Rub (BBQ dry rub, any BBQ seasoning can replace)
• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (full‑fat, can substitute Greek yogurt for lighter version)
• 1/4 cup Dave's Famous Barbecue Sauce (or any award‑winning BBQ sauce)
• 1/4 cup Cotija Cheese (Mexican grated cheese, can use Parmesan if unavailable)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro (chopped, optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Boil the Corn

   Fill a large pot with water, bring to a rolling boil, add the corn ears and cook for 10‑15 minutes until tender. If the corn floats, turn it halfway through for even cooking.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 100°C

2. Prep the Cilantro

   While the corn is boiling, rinse the cilantro, pat dry, and finely chop to measure about 1 tablespoon.

   Time: PT2M

3. Cut Corn into Ribs

   Remove the boiled corn and let cool briefly. Using thick oven mitts, stand each ear upright on its flat end and slice down the middle to halve. Then cut each half into quarters, yielding four "rib" pieces per ear.
