Instructions

Cut the pork shoulder in half lengthwise, then slice each half crosswise into thin, 1/8-inch slices.
Place pork in a bowl; mix in onion, garlic, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and cayenne. Mix well by hand, cover with wrap, and chill for 4-8 hours.
Prepare a charcoal grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill surface.
Thread pork onto skewers, folding as needed to keep pieces tight.
Grill skewers, turning often, until browned and cooked through, around 30 minutes. Brush with BBQ sauce, turning to caramelize the sauce, about 10 more minutes. A thermometer should read 160°F (71°C).
