Guy Fieri Pulled Pork Recipe
When it comes to pulled pork, Guy Fieri knows his stuff, and I'm excited to share why his recipe is one you have to try. Using a blend of spices like paprika, chili powder, and cumin gives the pork a bold flavor that sets it apart. A tip for achieving that perfect tenderness is to let the pork shoulder rest at room temperature before cooking. Roasting in the oven with a vinegar-based mop sauce keeps the meat juicy and adds a tangy kick.
