Method

Pulled Pork Directions

Prepare the Pork

Rub the pork shoulder with a mixture of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Ensure the pork is evenly coated.

Marinate

Cover the seasoned pork with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to enhance flavor.

Cook the Pork

Place the marinated pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and water. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds.

Shred the Pork

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Then, use two forks to shred the meat.

Add Barbecue Sauce

Mix the shredded pork with barbecue sauce until well combined. Adjust the amount of sauce to your liking.

Serve

Serve the pulled pork on buns or on a plate with your favorite sides.
