In honor of the Lexington BBQ Festival that’s being held this weekend, I thought it would be appropriate to cook a little pig. The official name of this recipe is called “Pulled Pork” but around here we just say BBQ. I developed this recipe several years ago when I needed a main dish that took very little effort and could feed a lot of people. I’ve dished up this BBQ as a sandwich, as sliders and as a “meat with 2 sides”. It really doesn’t matter how you serve it – just do it! Every time I make this goodness I receive RAVE REVIEWS from the family and from friends! So, get your pig on….you’ll be happy you did!
