I serve this to guests during the summer and is one of my favorites especially if feeding a crowd! I use the Smokin' Jack BBQ Sauce recipe on this site!

Time 12h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 pound) pork butt, trimmed
18 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
4 teaspoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dry mustard
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
.063 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Cut rows of deep slits into both sides of pork butt using a sharp knife; insert a garlic clove into each slit. Rub vegetable oil over pork butt.
  • Mix Creole seasoning, brown sugar, white sugar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, mustard, cumin, and ginger together in a bowl; coat pork butt with spice mixture. Wrap coated pork butt with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Heat an infrared turkey fryer or a large skillet over medium-high heat; remove aluminum foil from pork butt. Sear all sides of pork butt in the fryer or hot skillet until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) is reached, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Wrap the seared pork butt tightly in aluminum foil.
  • Preheat the roaster or oven to 265 degrees F (130 degrees C).
  • Place wrapped pork butt in the preheated roaster or oven until pork is easily shredded, 3 to 4 hours. Remove pork butt from aluminum foil and pull meat apart.

I would not recommend this recipe. The pork was dry and the sauce was too sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the pork didn't come out as tender as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The pork was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably cut back on the cayenne pepper next time.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The pork is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
