How to prepare:

Pulled pork is a classic dish that requires slow cooking and tenderizing the meat. With the Char-Broil TRU Infrared The Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer, you can easily achieve the perfect pulled pork texture without the hassle of traditional grilling or smoking methods. Here’s how to prepare this delicious recipe:

1. Start by preheating your infrared grill to medium-high heat. This ensures that your pork shoulder cooks evenly and retains its moisture.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This flavorful mixture will be the marinade for your pork shoulder.
3. Next, take the pork shoulder and generously rub the marinade all over the meat. Make sure to cover every inch of the pork shoulder to ensure maximum flavor.
4. Once the pork shoulder is well-coated, carefully place it on the grill grates of the Char-Broil TRU Infrared The Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer. Close the lid and let the magic happen!
5. Cook the pork shoulder for approximately 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F. The slow cooking process will tenderize the meat and infuse it with smoky flavors.
6. Once the pork shoulder is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, resulting in a moist and tender pulled pork.
7. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. The meat should easily fall apart, showcasing its tenderness and flavor.
8. Now that your pulled pork is ready, it’s time to serve it on buns with your favorite barbecue sauce. The combination of the smoky meat, tangy sauce, and soft buns creates a mouthwatering experience.
