BK's Crockpot Carnitas

bay leaves

2 cups

1 tsp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

This recipe is for a smaller 4 lb roast. If you crockpot will hold larger just double the Carnitas Spice Rub and use 4 bay leaves.

* Step 3

Trim excess fat cap from your roast.

* Step 4

Coat roast on all sides with spices and rub into meat.

Place roast in crockpot (fat cap side up).

* Step 6

Add bay leaves and chicken broth.

* Step 7

Cook on low about 5 hours (3 hours on high) then turn roast over.

* Step 8

Continue cooking until pork will shred with a fork. About 3 more hours on low (2 hours on high)

* Step 9

Remove roast and cube or shred.

* Step 10

For the restaurant style crispy edges, finish pork on a flat top grill or arrange on a sheet pan and place under a low broiler until edges are browned.
