Easy Oven BBQ Pulled Pork

Ingredients
 

  • 2 lbs pork loin
  • 1 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce – I use Masterpiece BBQ Sauce
  • Pork rub seasoning, see ingredients below
  • Pork Rub Ingredients:
  • ½ tablespoon black pepper, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Dry the pork loin with paper towels. Place it in a 9x13 oven-safe baking dish, then evenly sprinkle the Pork Rub Seasoning mix over all surfaces of the pork. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to absorb the seasonings. Pat any excess seasoning onto the top and sides of the meat.
  • You can cook the pork immediately, but for a deeper flavor, marinate it for 4 hours or overnight. This step is optional but recommended for enhanced taste.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 220°F for at least 8-9 hours. Slow cooking yields the best results, but if you're short on time, bake at 350°F for about 2.5 hours.
  • Once cooked, let the pork rest for 10 minutes before gently shredding it with two forks or "meat claws." Ensure some chunks remain for the best texture; over-shredding can make the meat mushy.
  • Mix in BBQ sauce and return the pork to the oven, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Remove and enjoy your pulled pork, perfect for BBQ sandwiches!
