Ingredients

• 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 fresh rosemary sprigs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

Rub the pork all over with olive oil.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.

Step 5

Evenly coat the pork with the seasoning mixture, pressing gently so it adheres to the meat.

Step 6

Peel and quarter the onion, and peel the garlic cloves.

Step 7

Place the onion quarters and garlic cloves in the bottom of a roasting pan or Dutch oven.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth into the pan.

Step 9

Place the seasoned pork on top of the onion and garlic, fat side up.

Step 10

Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan.

Step 11

Cover the pan tightly with a lid or aluminum foil to lock in moisture.

Step 12

Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 4 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 190°F (88°C).

Step 13

Remove the lid or foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the top to crisp up, if desired.

Step 14

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing or shredding.

Step 15

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
