My Carolina Pulled Pork recipe is the easiest pulled pork recipe you’ll find! Everyone knows that the best barbecue in the world can be found in the states of North and South Carolina (don’t @ me on this!) Rather than differentiate between them, I refer to this as Carolina Pulled Pork!
To make this couldn’t be easier – all it takes is time! Start by rubbing a shoulder of pork with brown sugar, salt, paprika, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Roast the pork in a low oven for 2 1/2 – 3 hours. Spoon over a sauce made with vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes and it’s ready! Amazing!
To make Carolina Pulled Pork, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 325 °F and line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
Mix the brown sugar, salt, paprika, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper together in a medium sized bowl.
Rub the sugar and spice mixture all over pork shoulder and place it in the baking pan.
Roast the pork in the oven until it easily separates from bone when a fork is inserted. This should take 2 ½ to 3 hours.
Let the pork sit and cool slightly before shredding it with two forks.
While the pork is cooking, combine the vinegar, ketchup, sugar, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the sauce over the shredded pork and serve in soft buns.
