Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 300°F to prepare for roasting the pork.

2. 2

   Season the pork generously with salt, pepper, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Place the seasoned pork in a brown paper bag with the fatty side facing up. Seal the bag tightly and transfer it onto a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the oven until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 185° to 190°F when checked with an instant-read thermometer, approximately for 4 hours.

3. 3

   Take the pork out of the bag, making sure to save any liquid inside. Once the pork has cooled down, shred it into big chunks and mix it with the reserved juices in a mixing bowl.
