Prepare the Pork
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pork shoulder generously with salt and black pepper.

Sear the Pork
In a large cast iron skillet, heat the duck fat over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

In a small bowl, mix together the sriracha and honey to create the glaze.

Slow Cook the Pork
Brush the sriracha honey glaze over the pork shoulder and cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil. Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart.

Pickle the Onion
While the pork is cooking, thinly slice the red onion and place it in a jar. In a small saucepan, bring equal parts vinegar and water to a boil, then pour over the onions. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
