Ingredients:

8 lbs. Pork Shoulder (bone-in, skin-on)

3 1/2 tbsp. Salt

2 tsp. Oregano

1 tsp. Black Pepper

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

1 tsp. Onion Powder

 

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 250F. Mix together all of the spices in a bowl.

Starting skin side down, pat the salt rub all over the pork to completely cover it. Once the bottom is done, flip and place on a wire rack that’s sitting over a baking sheet covered in foil. Spread the rub on all sides and top of the pork.

Once your oven is preheated and pork rubbed, place into the oven and bake for anywhere between 8-10 hours. You want the internal temperature to be about 190F.

Remove the pork from the oven and cover with foil. Allow the pork to rest for 15 total minutes. Preheat oven to 500F.

Once pork is rested and oven at 500F, remove the foil tent from the pork and place into the oven. Rotate the pork every five minutes to allow for even cooking of the skin

Let rest for 20 minutes before digging in.

Quick Tip: During the final cooking stage, there may be smoke from your oven. This is due to the fat dripping off the meat in the high heat. Open a window and turn on a fan!
