Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon (8 g) chile powder
  • 1 tablespoon (8 g) paprika
  • 1 tablespoon (8 g) garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons (2 g) thyme
  • 1 tablespoon (8 g) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g) cayenne pepper
  • 2 -3 tablespoons (25-38 g) brown sugar
  • 1 pork shoulder roast (6-7 pounds)
  • 4 onions (, cut into halves)

Instruction

  • Combine everything except the pork shoulder and onions in a small bowl.
  • Put the roast in a non-reactive dish or pan and generously rub the seasonings all over the pork shoulder the best you can.
  • Cover the top with a saran wrap and put it in the fridge overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate. (This is optional but highly recommended.)
  • Preheat the oven to 300℉/177℃. Add halved onions in a deep baking dish, gently put the seasoned pork on top and cover it. Cook for 6-7 hours. You may uncover it for the last hour, so it crisps up.
  • You can shred it using two forks. Then serve it on buns for sliders or in burritos and tacos. Skim off the fat if you want to use the liquid, then pour it on the pulled pork to serve as a main dish.
