Ingredients

  • 1 large baby back pork ribs (about 3 ½ lbs.), membranes removed and portioned into 4-5 ribs

How To Make polynesian pork ribs

  • Step 1
    Generously apply Polynesian rub to the portioned ribs, entirely covering the meat.
  • Step 2
    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.
  • Step 3
    Wrap it tightly, making sure the seam is up, and place the packet on a baking sheet. Wrap the other portioned ribs individually.
  • Step 4
    Transfer to the fridge for 8 hours, but preferably overnight.
  • Step 5
    Later on, or the next day, place the baking sheet in a 300 degrees F/150 degrees C preheated oven, and bake for 2:30 hours, rotating the sheet halfway through cooking.
  • Step 6
    Remove from the heat, and position the rack to the one just below the top; set the temperature on “Low” broil.
  • Step 7
    Carefully remove the ribs from the packets and transfer them to another baking sheet lined with lightly greased foil, meat side up.
  • Step 8
    Brush the tops and sides 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.
  • Step 9
    Remove from the heat, sprinkle on toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
