How to Make Lexington Style Pulled Pork
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
- Pat the Boston butt dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a large roasting pan.
- Add the chicken broth to the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Roast for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
- Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding.
- While the pork rests, whisk together the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and liquid smoke in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Shred the pork with two forks and stir in the vinegar-based sauce.
- Serve on buns with your favorite coleslaw and pickles.
