How to Make Bbq Pork Sandwich
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Generously sprinkle the dry rub all over the 3-4 pound pork shoulder roast, pressing it firmly into the meat.
- Cover the pork shoulder with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight).
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large Dutch oven, combine 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
- Add the seasoned pork shoulder to the Dutch oven.
- Cover the Dutch oven tightly with aluminum foil, then place the lid on top.
- Roast for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily. Baste the pork with the cooking liquid every hour.
- Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before handling.
- Shred the pork using two forks or tongs.
- Serve the pulled pork on your favorite buns. Top with extra BBQ sauce and coleslaw.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
