Classic Pork Roast Recipe (Step-by-Step) | HowToCook.Recipes

Take your pork roast out of fridge and allow it to reach room temperature. This should take about 30 minutes to an hour. While the roast reaches room temperature, begin preheating your oven to 325F.

Mix the spices together in a small bowl and rub liberally all over the roast. Place the roast in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Pour the chicken broth on the bottom of the pan until it comes up about an inch. Roast your pork shoulder at about 35 minutes per pound or until it reaches an internal temperature of 180F (use a meat thermometer to confirm internal temp). Make sure to periodically check on your roast in case the broth has evaporated and you need to add more. Once the roast has reached the proper internal temperature, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter or wire rack to rest for 40 minutes.

While the roast is resting, preheat the oven to 475F. Put the roast back in for 13-17 minutes. Once thoroughly browned and crispy, remove from the oven and immediately carve and serve.
