Directions
Pierce the pork shoulder all over with a fork to allow the flavors to penetrate better.
Rub the sea salt generously over the pork shoulder.
Drizzle the liquid smoke over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth around it.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, shred the pork using two forks. Mix the meat with the juices in the slow cooker to keep it moist and flavorful.
Serve hot with your favorite Hawaiian sides, or simply mound it on a warm plate with rice and veggies.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add crushed garlic and red pepper flakes to the slow cooker.
If you prefer a smokier flavor, increase the liquid smoke or try a different brand to experiment with the depth of flavor.
For a more traditional touch, add a few banana leaves on top of the pork.
Some enjoy a sweeter note by adding a bit of brown sugar or pineapple juice to the broth.
Enjoy your Kalua Pig and the taste of Hawaii!
