Pulled Pork
Ingredients
1 (5 to 7-pound) Boston pork butt, bone in
3/4 cup seasoning rub (recommended: Butch's Smack Your LipsMagic Dust)
Directions
Preheat the oven or smoker to 225 degrees F.
Score the fat cap of the butt, cutting through the fat only and not into the meat. Rub
liberally with the seasoning rub. Cook the meat about 8 to 10 hours or until the internaltemperature, using an instant-read thermometer, reaches 165 degrees F for slicing or 175
degrees F for pulling.
If you wish to use the meat later, wrap the butt in double foil to retain the juices and
refrigerate or freeze. If you are using the meat immediately, remove the bone by twisting it,
it should easily come out. Then slice it or use 2 forks to shred the meat apart.
To serve, use a 4-ounce portion of meat on a bun and top with BBQ sauce. For North
Carolina style add 2 tablespoons of coleslaw.

Comments
This recipe came in a package of Zacky Farms chicken. I've used it for
years. I triple the recipe and do about 20 pieces of chicken for 12 people
and usually marinade overnight. That way there's no last minute prep
and you can just throw it on the barbecue!
