Ingredients

• 4 lbs pork shoulder roast
• 2 tbsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and set it aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme together to create a dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil all over the pork shoulder, then generously coat the meat with the dry rub, ensuring even coverage on all sides.

Step 5

Slice the yellow onion into thick rings and place them in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Add the whole garlic cloves to the pan.

Step 6

Place the seasoned pork roast on top of the onion and garlic in the roasting pan.

Step 7

Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan, being careful not to rinse off the seasonings on the meat.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 4 hours, basting the meat with the pan juices halfway through cooking.

Step 10

After 4 hours, uncover the pan and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Roast uncovered for an additional 30 minutes to allow the outside of the meat to crisp up.

Step 11

Remove the pork roast from the oven, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Slice the meat and serve with the pan juices drizzled on top, alongside your favorite sides.
