The Boston Pizza Winged Ribs Come Tossed in Sweet Sauce

— April 28, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Boston Pizza Winged Ribs are a hybrid appetizer arriving at participating locations in Canada for diners to try out as an alternative to conventional chicken wings or ribs. The menu items starts off with individual pork back ribs that have been slow cooked to perfection before being deep fried to give them a touch of crispiness. The ribs are then tossed in a Sweet Thai Honey Garlic sauce to balance out the savory profile of the meat, but can also come tossed with any of the brand's other wing sauces.

The Boston Pizza Winged Ribs come with a side of veggie sticks with dip and are being launched as a limited-edition item that come in at $14.99 per order.
