Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, dry mustard, and kosher salt. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Generously coat the pork roasts with the spice mixture, ensuring even coverage. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
3 hrs

Refrigerate the seasoned roasts for a minimum of 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld deeply into the meat. (Marinating time: 3+ hours)

04

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place the pork roasts in a large roasting pan. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step
4 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven for 4 to 6 hours, or until the pork is incredibly tender and easily shreds with two forks. (Baking time: 4-6 hours)

06

Step
15 mins

Once the pork is cooked, shred it thoroughly using two forks. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Transfer the shredded pork to a large pot over medium heat. Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir well to combine. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

08

Step
30 mins

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (Simmering time: 30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of sweet and smoky barbecue sauces.
If you don't have time to marinate overnight, even a 3-hour marination will significantly enhance the flavor.
Feel free to adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to your preference. Some prefer a wetter, saucier pulled pork, while others like it drier.
Serve on toasted brioche buns with a side of coleslaw for a classic pulled pork experience.
