Ingredients

  • 1 large baby back pork ribs (about 3 ½ lbs.), membranes removed and portioned into 4-5 ribs
  • 1 ⅓ cups Polynesian Rub, or as needed see Recipe
  • ½ cup Polynesian BBQ Sauce, or as needed see Recipe
  • 1 ½ tbsp. toasted sesame seeds, for garnish tips & tricks

Directions

  • Generously apply Polynesian rub on the portioned ribs, entirely covering the meat.
  • Lightly spray aluminum foil pieces on one side. Place one portioned rib per piece, meat side down, in the middle of the greased foil piece.
  • Wrap it tightly making sure the seam is up and place the packet on a baking sheet, wrap the other portioned ribs individually.
  • Transfer to the fridge for 8 hours, but preferably overnight.
  • Later on, or the next day, place the baking sheet in a 300ºF/150ºC preheated oven, and bake for 2:30 hours, rotating the sheet halfway through cooking.
  • Remove from the heat, and position the rack to the one just below the top; set the temperature on “Low” broil.
  • Carefully remove the ribs from the packets and transfer them to another baking sheet lined with lightly greased foil, meat side up.
  • Brush the tops and side with Polynesian BBQ Sauce, and transfer to the oven. Broil for 5 minutes before rotating the baking sheet. Broil for another 5 minutes or until the tops are nicely caramelized.
  • Remove from the heat, sprinkle on toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
