Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and position the rack in the middle of the oven.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub.

  3. Pat the pork shoulder or butt dry with paper towels. Then, generously rub the spice mixture all over the meat, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  4. Place the seasoned pork in a roasting pan or a Dutch oven. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan – this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.

  5. Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid, and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

  6. Check the pork occasionally during cooking, basting it with the juices at the bottom of the pan, and adding more broth if needed to prevent it from drying out.

  7. Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat for maximum flavor.

  8. Using two forks, shred the pork directly in the pan, incorporating any remaining juices for added moisture and flavor.

  9. Your Perfect Pulled Pork is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it piled high on buns with your favorite barbecue sauce, coleslaw, or pickles for a classic pulled pork sandwich. Or get creative by using it in tacos, salads, nachos, or as a topping for baked potatoes.
