Chef's tip
Use the same weight of boneless chicken thighs and cut them as directed. For thin slices, skewers, stir-fries, or frying, cook to 165°F (74°C). For covered braises, cook about 45 minutes; for a slow cooker, use 3 to 4 hours on low.
2 tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
2 tbsp coconut oil

For the braising liquid

1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup bone broth (homemade or aip-compliant brand)
1 tbsp honey
½ tsp fine sea salt
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground turmeric

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the 2 tsp salt, turmeric, ginger, thyme, oregano, and Ceylon cinnamon for the rub. Pat the pork shoulder completely dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mixture all over the surface, pressing it into any crevices. Place the rubbed pork on a plate, cover loosely, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
2
Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
