Notes
- *Chili powder is a spice blend usually made from ground chili peppers, cumin, oregano, dried garlic and salt. It's widely available in spice shops.
- How to use the spice rub:
- Evenly rub a 5-pound pork butt with the spice rub. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- Set a wire rack onto an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, then set the meat on the wire rack.
- Tightly cover the entire baking sheet with aluminum foil, then bake at 325 degrees F. The meat is done when it is tender and can easily be pulled apart with two forks (about 5 hours for a 5-pound pork butt).
