Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Country-style pork (boneless or bone-in)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a large baking dish by greasing it lightly with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Pat the country-style pork pieces dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning stick to the meat.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create a seasoning blend.
Drizzle the pork pieces with olive oil, then rub the seasoning blend evenly over all sides of the meat.
Place the seasoned pork pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. This allows the pork to cook gently and become tender.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir until smooth and set aside.
After 1 hour of baking, remove the pork from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Drain any excess liquid in the baking dish, then pour the prepared barbecue sauce evenly over the pork pieces, ensuring they are well-coated.
Return the baking dish (uncovered) to the oven and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce caramelizes slightly and the pork pieces are fully cooked (an internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C).
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
