Pulled Pork Ingredients

Method

Pulled Pork Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Rub

    In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice rub.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork

    Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cooking Liquid

    In a large bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar and water to create the cooking liquid.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker or a roasting pan. Pour the cooking liquid over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart.

  5. 5

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the cooker and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

  6. 6

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Mix the shredded pork with the BBQ sauce until well combined. Serve warm on buns or as desired.
