BBQ Pulled Pork
Smoky, tender, and packed with flavor, this BBQ Pulled Pork is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Slow-cooked until fall-apart tender, then tossed with Bonnie's Country Classic or TexMex BBQ Sauce, it’s perfect for piling high on buns, nachos, or baked potatoes. Great for make-ahead meals or backyard gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 medium sized pork butt (7-9 lbs., preferably bone in)
- Olive Oil (try our Olivelle Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil for a kick!
- Chipotle Lime Rub (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups Bonnies Country Classic Original or TexMex BBQ Sauce
Directions
- Cook on charcoal or gas grill by indirect heat or on low heat in the oven (325 degrees).
- Pat dry with paper towels. Then, brush on a thin coating of olive oil. Optional: season generously with Chipotle Lime Rub.
- Cook on low heat setting until meat reaches 190-200 degrees. Let rest for about 20 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
- Pull the meat from the skin, bone, and fat. Shred the chunks of meat with two forks or by hand.
- Put meat in a large bowl. While it is still warm, combine with BBQ sauce to moisten and season. The pork can be made in advance to this point and reheated when needed.
