Easy Oven Pulled Pork

This recipe for pulled pork, out of your own oven, takes a bit of time with an overnight refrigeration then a long slow cook BUT is definitely worth the wait…

I used a pork butt roast (or Boston butt) about 4lbs or so. That made more than enough pulled pork sandwiches for dinner and left overs for lunches.

First, make the dry rub and apply liberally to pork roast then let it sit overnight in the fridge.

The next morning, let the pork roast sit on the counter for at least an hour to get meat up to room temp. Place in 275 oven and DO NOT TOUCH IT for 1 hour. After an hour pull it out and add the wet ingredients.

Dump it all in the pot and put that baby back in the oven for another 5 or 6 hours or until it falls apart under a fork. Shred the meat and use the juices- a little bit at a time- until it’s the texture you want. Add extra BBQ sauce to taste and serve on rolls with coleslaw. And there you have a wonderful pulled pork done in your own oven.

Yummmmm.
