Boston Butt
This recipe is best in between some Hawaiian buns and served as sliders, or on some mac and cheese, or on anything your mind can think of.
Directions
Ingredients
- 7-8 pounds of WWC Boston Butt or ‘Pork Shoulder’
- Tinfoil
- 1/2 cup smoked paprika
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chipotle chili pepper
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
- Mix all of the spices together in a bowl.
- Take a rag or a spray bottle and get some Apple cider vinegar all over the pork, enough to make it so the spices will stick.
- Rub the spice mix on all sides of the pork butt, Make sure it is coated all over.
- Cover the butt with tinfoil to keep all the juices from seeping out during the roast.
- Place the pork butt fat side up in a roasting pan with a rack.
- Bake for an hour at 350ºF. Then, without opening the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 250ºF. Bake for 6-7 hours or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 195-200ºF.
- Carefully remove all aluminum foil to allow the outside to get a nice crust, then let cook for 15-30 minutes
- Take the pork out of the oven and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
- Shred using forks or if you are fancy, a meat shredder.
- Enjoy!
