Cheap, easy, quick and super tasty! In this video i'm going to show you a smoked pulled pork hocks recipe!
Pork butts, pork scotch and pork shoulders in general are getting quite expensive, however pork hocks are still super cheap!
I remember when butchers used to give pork hocks away, now they are around $5-$10 per kg. Which is around half the price per kg you'll be paying compared to other suitable pulled pork cuts.
The downside to using pork hocks is obviously you're paying for bone and they'll most likely have the skin on too. However with the right preparation, pork hocks produce some great pulled pork and they are a quick cook compared to using other cuts for pulled pork too!
In this video i'll be covering off the below:
- How to remove the skin off a pork hock
- My favourite pulled pork seasoning
- Pellet smoker set up
- Cooking times and temperatures
- What I'm serving my pulled pork with
And much more!
If you don't have a pellet smoker but you have a Weber kettle and want to follow along, you can use the snake method! It's a great method that uses charcoal briquettes where you can set your Weber kettle up for a long smoke without needing any accessories, here's a video i've done on the snake method: • How to Set Up the Snak...
For these pork hocks, I trimmed them, seasoned them, got my pellet smoker running at around 275F/135c using Pecan pellets and then put my pork hocks in.
I let them go for around 2.5 hours until they had developed a nice colour and the rub had set on the meat nicely, the internal temperature at this stage was around 185F/85c.
They then went into a foil tray with around 500ml of chicken stock, 1/4 cup of brown sugar and around 6tbs of butter, I then covered the tray in foil and they went back into the pellet smoker.
An hour later they were probing very tender at an internal temperature of around 210F/99c, then I took them out, let them steam off to stop the cooking process, let them rest and then pulled them apart.
These pork hocks made for some delicious pulled pork!
I then used the smoked pulled pork to make some pulled pork sandwiches!
So if you're looking to make some cheap, quick, easy and tasty pulled pork, definitely use some pork hocks!
