Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Shoulder

    Rub the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and liquid smoke. Ensure the pork is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Refrigerate

    Cover the seasoned pork shoulder with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Slow Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

  2. 4

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 5

    Shred the Pork

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

  4. 6

    Combine with BBQ Sauce

    Mix the shredded pork with the prepared BBQ sauce until well coated.
