What Exactly IS Chicago BBQ? | Saucy Smoked Rib Tips Recipe

I grew up in Chicago and didn't learn about a unique, regional bbq style that was born in my backyard until recently. Folks have been whipping up smoked sausages and rib tips for damn near 90 years. Chicago-style BBQ is a distinctive regional barbecue style that emerged from the South Side of Chicago, influenced by the Great Migration of African Americans from the South during the early to mid-20th century. While not as widely recognized as Kansas City, Texas, or Carolina styles, Chicago barbecue has its own unique character, which leans towards rib tips and hot links, usually smoked in an aquarium-style smoker. You gotta see these things, they're wild. Chicago's barbecue style is also recognized for its distinctive sauce, often a bit spicier and more vinegary than those found in other regional barbecue styles. The slow-smoked meats are generally served with white bread and a helping of fries, making it a hearty meal deeply connected to the city's working-class roots.
