This recipe transforms a humble pork butt into mouthwatering pulled pork sandwiches with authentic smoky flavor. The key to success is patience during the slow cooking process, which breaks down the tough muscle fibers into tender, shreddable meat. Don't rush the searing step, as it builds essential flavor. The combination of dry rub and liquid ingredients creates layers of flavor that mimic traditional barbecue pit results.
For the best flavor, let the pulled pork rest in its sauce for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the meat to absorb more flavor and moisture. If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add hot sauce to the barbecue sauce mixture or serve it on the side. For a complete meal experience, serve with classic sides like baked beans, potato salad, or corn on the cob.
