Chicken thighs are leaner and often cheaper.

Season the pork rib tips with all-purpose seasoning (garlic salt and pepper) as a base coat.

Sprinkle a generous portion of your favorite barbecue rub on the rib tips and pat it in.

Heat a cast iron skillet on the stove until warm.

Place the rib tips in the skillet, bone side down first, away from you to avoid splatter.

Cook the rib tips until they are browned and caramelized, developing flavor and crust.

Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper and a wire rack on top for easier cleanup.

Add a pan of water to the sheet pan to create steam while cooking the ribs.

Make a basting sauce by mixing brown sugar, butter or margarine, honey, liquid smoke, tiger sauce, and a little apple juice together.

Stir the basting sauce until well combined.

Cover the rib tips with aluminum foil and place them in the oven to cook for about 1 hour.

After 2 hours of cooking, remove the foil and glaze the rib tips with your favorite barbecue sauce.

Return the rib tips to the oven for an additional 30-40 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.

Check the rib tips after 30-40 minutes to ensure they are caramelized and cooked through.
