With a few good grilling weekends left in the summer, Sam's Club has begun selling supersized buckets of its savory Jack Daniels ribs. Perfect for big family BBQs, the buckets make it easy to feed a crowd of meat lovers.
Just as the name suggests, Sam's Club's big buckets of Jack Daniels ribs are supersized tins filled to the brim with seasoned, cooked, and pre-cut ribs. However, these aren't just any ribs. The buckets are actually filled with pork ribs that have been dosed in Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey sauce for an intensely flavorful BBQ experience. Best of all, the ribs are pre-cooked, so they only need to be heated in the microwave or oven before serving.
