Equipment

  • small bowl
  • Large cutting board
  • Roasting pan with a wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs pork shoulder roast

Rub:

Sauce:

  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup Garlic Honey Diana Sauce
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1-2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Next, make the rub. Combine all of the rub ingredients in a small bowl and stir well to combine. Make sure there are no big clumps of sugar.
    1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, ½ tbsp onion powder, ½ tbsp garlic powder, ½ tsp ground ginger, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp salt
  • Season the pork shoulder with the rub. Make sure it is well coated on all sides. You should need all the rub.
    3 lbs pork shoulder roast
  • Place the seasoned pork shoulder on the wire rack of a roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Put the pan in the preheated oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 190°F-200°F. Mine took about 2 and half hours.
  • While the pork is in the oven, make the sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl.
    ½ cup BBQ sauce, ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup Garlic Honey Diana Sauce, 1 tbsp mustard, 1-2 tbsp brown sugar
  • When the temperature reaches about 15 degrees below your target, increase the temperature to 400°F. If you prefer more of a crust on the outside of your pork, broil on high for 2-3 minutes.
  • Once you remove the pork shoulder from the pan, use two forks to separate, or shred the meat.
  • Put the shredded meat into a large bowl or dish and pour in the sauce. Mix the pulled pork with the sauce until fully coated and serve on a slider bun topped with bread and butter pickles or coleslaw.
