Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    If using pork, trim excess fat from the pork shoulder. For chicken, ensure thighs are skinless for better pulling.

  2. 2

    Season

    Rub the pork or chicken with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook

    Place the meat in a slow cooker with chopped onion, minced garlic, and BBQ sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds.

  4. 4

    Shred the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the pulled pork or chicken onto buns and top with coleslaw if desired.
