Pulled Pork Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Rub

In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. This will be the rub for the pork.

2

Rub the Pork

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.

3

Cook the Pork

Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

4

Shred the Pork

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

5

Mix with BBQ Sauce

Toss the shredded pork with BBQ sauce until well coated. You can add more sauce based on your preference.

6

Serve

Serve the pulled pork on buns, with coleslaw, or as desired. Enjoy!
