Pulled Pork or Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    If using pork shoulder, trim excess fat. If using chicken thighs, ensure they are thawed.

  2. 2

    Season and Sear

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the meat with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Sear the meat on all sides until browned.

  3. 3

    Slow Cook

    Place the seared meat in a slow cooker. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and BBQ sauce. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

  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

    Scoop the pulled pork or chicken onto a plate, and serve with your choice of two sides and cornbread.
