Make tender, fork-apart pulled pork using your slow cooker. This simple recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd at graduation parties or any casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lb pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 bottle (18 oz) your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 24 slider buns
  • Optional toppings: coleslaw, pickles

Instructions

  1. Place the pork shoulder in the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Pour the liquid mixture over the pork shoulder.
  4. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the pork is very tender.
  5. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Discard any large pieces of fat.
  6. Shred the pork using two forks until it is fork-apart tender.
  7. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker. Pour the BBQ sauce over the meat and stir to coat completely.
  8. Cook on the warm setting for 30 minutes to allow the meat to absorb the sauce.
  9. To serve, pile the sauced pulled pork onto the bottom halves of the slider buns. Top with your preferred toppings and the top halves of the buns. Serve immediately for easy crowd food.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, rub the pork shoulder with the dry spices (paprika through cayenne) one hour before placing it in the slow cooker.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the shredded pork, drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker, then return the meat and sauce to the cooker to heat through.
  • This recipe makes excellent leftovers for sandwiches or tacos the next day.
