Ingredients

2 kg pork shoulder
250 ml chicken stock
300 ml barbecue sauce
8 burger buns

Rub

2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F. Pat the pork dry with paper towels (dry meat browns better).
2
Mix the rub ingredients and massage them all over the pork, into every crevice.
3
Place the pork in a deep roasting dish or Dutch oven and pour the stock around it (not over the top). Cover tightly with a lid or a double layer of foil to trap the steam.
4
Roast low and slow for about 4 hours. It's done when the meat is fork-tender and pulls apart with almost no resistance. Patience is everything here — undercooked shoulder is tough.
