- 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
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.
