Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Add Liquid

    Once seared, place the pork in a slow cooker. Pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth over the pork.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  5. 5

    Shred the Pork

    Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to pull apart the meat into shreds.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pulled pork on its own, or as a filling for sandwiches, tacos, or salads.
