Ingredients
  

  • 1 bone-in pork shoulder approximately 6-8 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons lard
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Set the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Season the Pork Shoulder:

  • Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels to ensure the spice rub adheres properly.
  • Rub the lard over the entire surface of the pork shoulder.
  • Generously apply the kosher salt, massaging it into all sides of the meat.

Prepare the Roasting Pan:

  • Pour the chicken broth into the pan.
  • Position a roasting rack, ensuring the pork will sit above the liquid.

Roast the Pork Shoulder:

  • Place the seasoned pork shoulder on the roasting rack, fat side up.
  • Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 4.5 to 5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Crisp the Exterior:

  • Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
  • Remove the aluminum foil from the roasting pan.
  • Continue roasting the pork shoulder for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the exterior is crispy and golden brown.

Rest and Serve:

  • Remove the pork shoulder from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and shred or slice the meat as desired.
  • Serve.
