Cooking Directions
Marinate the Pork
Place the pork shoulder in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it's evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Roast the Pork
Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.
Crisp the Skin
After 4 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C). Roast for an additional 30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden.
Rest and Serve
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
