    How to Make Crispy Oven Pulled Pork

    1. Prepare Pork Rub and Marinate

    Mix kosher salt, 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, paprika, and ground cayenne or chipotle powder in a bowl. Coat the pork shoulder generously with the rub, wrap in cling film, and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

    2. Cook and Baste Pork

    Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Prepare mop sauce with remaining brown sugar, apple-cider vinegar, ketchup, and black pepper. Place pork in a roasting dish, cook for about 5 hours, basting every hour with the mop sauce.

    3. Prepare Cabbage Slaw

    Thinly slice green cabbage and mix with some mop sauce, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to create the slaw.

    4. Crisp the Pork and Shred

    Let the pork rest for 1.5 hours after cooking. Reheat oven to 450°F (230°C), return pork to crisp the edges, then shred and mix with additional mop sauce.

    5. Assemble Sandwiches

    Pile the shredded pork onto sandwich rolls and top with cabbage slaw. Serve immediately.
