Hula Pulled Pork
Ingredients:
- 4 lbs boneless pork shoulder
- 3 tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp minced Wickles Wicked Garlic
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- Cracked pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 12 oz Coca-Cola
- 1 ½ cup ketchup
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup dijon mustard
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 4 tbsp Wickles Wicked Hula brine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package Hawaiian Buns
- Wickles Wicked Hula to garnish
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees
- Trim excess fat from pork and cut into large pieces to fit in a large Dutch oven
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, smoked paprika, Wickles Wicked Garlic, chili powder, onion powder, and cumin, then season with black pepper.
- Rub all over pork, this can be done the night before to marinate
- In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat oil. Working in batches, add pork and sear on all sides. Spices can burn quickly so don’t let it go for too long!
- Pour Coca-Cola around pork and cover with lid
- Transfer to preheated oven and cook until pork is beginning to turn tender, about 3 hours. Remove lid and cook until pork is very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork, 1 to 2 hours more
- Remove pork from Dutch oven
- Shred pork using two forks
- Toss shredded meat with about half the barbecue sauce
- Serve warm with buns and more barbecue sauce and top with Wickles Wicked Hula
