Sure, chops, wors and sosaties are always hits at a braai, but if you want to up your braai game this summer, consider adding ribs to the menu. Ribs are often seen as an intimidating protein to braai, with long cooking times and the fear of burning the glaze. Woolworths’ sweet & sticky pork loin ribs take the guesswork out of it. They come parcooked and marinated, so all you have to do is place them over the hot coals and let the fire do the cooking.

That means less time worrying over cooking, and more time doing what a braai is really about: hanging out with friends, cold drinks in hand, a match playing in the background or good music setting the vibe. Woolworths has taken care of the prep so that you can be present, enjoy the social side of entertaining, and still serve up tender, finger-licking sticky ribs that your guests will definitely want on their plates.

And while you’re enjoying that ease, there’s something worth knowing about how these ribs come to your table. They’re part of Woolworths’ Kinder to Sows initiative, which supports higher welfare standards across the pork supply chain, from farm to pack, so you’re feeding people great food with sustainable farming practises behind it.

How to serve sticky ribs

Serve these sticky pork loin ribs with all the usual braai favourites: creamy potato salad, charred corn or mielies, garlic bread and crunchy coleslaw.

Level up sticky ribs

For a more casual bite, pull the tender rib meat from the bone and pile it into a soft roll with fresh slaw, pickled cucumber and a smear of creamy mayo. Add a handful of hand‑cooked crisps for crunch, and you’ve got a messy, flavour‑packed sandwich that’s perfect for picnics and braai leftovers.
