Wood Chick’s BBQ Championship BBQ Rub
Preparation
Step 1
The night before you roast the pork, coat it heavily with the dry rub. Wrap in plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag, and refrigerate overnight.
Step 2
Remove the pork from the refrigerator 2 hours prior to cooking.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 250°F.
Step 4
Put the pork butt, fat side up, in a roasting pan with enough apple juice to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook in the oven until the exterior of the pork is mahogany colored, about 4 hours, adding more apple juice as needed. If the exterior is drying out, spray the pork with apple juice.
Step 5
Carefully transfer the pork to long pieces of double-layered heavy-duty foil. Pull up the sides of the foil, add 1/2 cup apple juice to the foil, and wrap so it’s as airtight as possible. Return to the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the pork is 190° to 195°F, 4 to 5 hours.
Step 6
Unwrap, let cool slightly, and pull the pork to the desired consistency. Top with the barbecue sauce.
