June Recipe: Easy NC Pulled Pork BBQ

If you don't have a smoker or the time to make slow-smoked pulled pork BBQ, you can enjoy the next-best thing to genuine NC barbecue by using your oven & following these 5 easy steps:

Slow-smoked BBQ delivered nationwide - Click here

(1) Select a 6 to 8 lb Boston butt (pork shoulder) with a nice fat cap and season with your favorite BBQ rub.

 (2) Preheat oven to 300F. Place pork fat-side up in a DEEP (at least 2") roasting pan. The fat will render during cooking so depth is important!

(3) Leave pan uncovered & cook on center rack for at least 6 hrs, until pork is fork-tender & pulls with little effort.

(4) Turn off oven & let pork sit until cooled enough to pull by hand. Remove pan from oven, pull apart by hand while removing all fatty bits and placing the pulled meat in a large pan.

(5) Pour your favorite BBQ sauce over the pulled pork and mix in by hand. For vinegar-based Eastern NC BBQ, try Wells Hog Heaven BBQ Sauce. For Piedmont or Lexington (western NC) BBQ, try Bone Suckin' Sauce.
