We processed our meat chickens, and we go over the numbers of cost of feed, weights, etc, just to see if it was worth the time and effort to grow our own chickens.

Meg’s Carnitas
1 cup kosher salt
1 Tbs(ish) garlic flakes or powder
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp cayenne powder
1 quart water
In a large pot , Bring to a boil to melt salt, then let cool to room temp. Add pork shoulder (it was about 8 pounds, probably) and enough cold water to cover. Put in fridge for 24 hours.
Next day, pull the pork out and pat dry. Season with:
About 1 Tbs salt
1 Tbs garlic powder
1 Tbs chili powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 black pepper
Cayenne to taste
Adjust more or less as needed for size pork you have.
Rub all over pork and place in a roaster oven, or Dutch oven with lid to cook in oven. Add about 1 quart of water to roaster/pot.
Set at 200 and cook for 12 hours. Remove pork, take out bones, shred, and add meat back into juices in roaster.
Serve in warmed corn tortillas with onions and cilantro.
