Pulled Pork Seasoning Without great seasoning, your pork is going to be bland. Tips for Success Chill: If you can swing the time, we do recommend wrapping and chilling the roast for at least 2 hours or overnight after rubbing it with the spice blend.

This allows the spices to permeate into the meat for the best flavor. This step is optional though, and the pork will still be delicious either way.

Sear: We usually skip this step, but it really does make a difference in flavor. So do as we say, not as we do. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a Dutch oven pot over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned raw meat chilled or not and sear for several seconds on all sides, then proceed with your desired cooking method. Do not try and rush it or the meat will be tough — we promise it will be worth the wait. In the slow cooker it will take anywhere from hours total, and in the oven it will take around hours at degrees.
