Method

Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Prepare for Cooking

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Drizzle the liquid smoke over the pork.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Cover and cook the pork 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. Then, using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.

  3. 7

    Combine Sauce and Pork

    Add the shredded pork back into the saucepan with the sauce. Stir to combine and heat through for another 5-10 minutes.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place a generous amount of the pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw and pickles.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your pulled pork sandwich!
