A tender and flavorful BBQ pork shoulder recipe, perfect for family gatherings or a hearty dinner.
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to create the spice rub.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.
Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Using foil saves time during cleanup.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Massage the rub into the meat for better flavor penetration.
Wrap the seasoned pork shoulder tightly in aluminum foil and place it in the prepared roasting pan.
Ensure the foil is sealed to retain moisture.
Bake the pork shoulder in the oven for 4-5 hours, or until it is tender and easily pulls apart.
Check the internal temperature; it should reach 195°F (90°C).
Carefully remove the foil and drain any excess liquid from the pan.
Be cautious of hot steam when unwrapping the foil.
Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
This step helps caramelize the glaze.
Brush the barbecue sauce generously over the pork shoulder.
Apply multiple layers for a richer flavor.
Return the pork to the oven and bake for an additional 1-1.5 hours, basting occasionally with more sauce.
Cover with foil if the glaze starts to darken too much.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
Serve the pork shoulder with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Pair with coleslaw or cornbread for a classic BBQ meal.
