Pulled Pork

Fried Jalapeños

Slider Buns

Method

Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  2. 2

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the cooker and mix in the BBQ sauce. Keep warm.

BBQ Butter

  1. 3

    Make BBQ Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Cabbage Slaw

  1. 4

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fried Jalapeños

  1. 5

    Prepare Jalapeños

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cold water, and salt to create a batter. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Fry Jalapeños

    Dip the sliced jalapeños into the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sliders

  1. 7

    Build the Sliders

    To assemble, cut the slider buns in half. On each bottom half, add a generous amount of pulled pork, a dollop of BBQ butter, a spoonful of cabbage slaw, and top with a few fried jalapeños. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
