Pulled Pork

Method

Cooking Process

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Rub the marinade all over the pork shoulder and let it sit for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Place the marinated pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Pour BBQ sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the pork using two forks.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Place the shredded pork on the buns and top with coleslaw. Drizzle additional BBQ sauce if desired.
