Ingredients
- 10 pound Pork Picnic Shoulder (You are looking for skin and bone here, it will look like an arm joint)
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Season the pork liberally with salt.
- Put in a slow cooker skin side up.
- Put on low for 18 hours.
- Scoop out the excess liquid and reserve.
- Put the pork into a foil pan.
- Do your best to not break it apart while moving it.
- Once the pork is in the pan, you are going to peel the skin back and scoop out the unrendered fat.
- Using a small spoon just scrape from the underside of the skin until a thin layer of skin is left.
- Season the meat with more kosher salt.
- Fold the skin back over the pork and discard all the fat.
- Spoon off the fat off the reserved liquid and pour it into the foil pan.
- Turn on your broiler on high.
- Put the pork in on the top shelf and watch it like a hawk.
- Mine went in literally five seconds longer than I wanted which is why I have a few dark spots.
- You'll see the skin start puffing up and browning.
- Take it out when you get to a nice golden brown color, you can even wait until you see the first hint of a dark spot.
- Serve with your favorite sauce, but I recommend Chimichurri
