Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the pork butt on a piece of parchment paper large enough to encase it.
  • Make shallow cuts along the surface of the pork to allow the salt and marinade to penetrate.
  • Rub the salt all over the surface of the pork. Drizzle the Huli-Huli sauce over the pork and rub it in, coating the meat.
  • Wrap the pork in the parchment, then an outer layer of foil.
  • Place on a baking sheet or a roasting pan.
  • Roast for 1 hour at 350 degrees, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and continue cooking for another 3 or 3½ hours, until the pork is tender.
  • Remove from oven and allow the meat to cool and rest for 10 to 15 minutes before unwrapping the parchment-foil packet. (Be careful of steam.)
  • Use forks to shred the pork.
