Ingredients

• 4 lb Pork shoulder (Boston butt)
• 1 tbsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 cups BBQ sauce
• 8 pieces Hamburger buns
• 2 cups Coleslaw (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 3

Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and chicken broth around the pork.

Step 4

Cover and cook on low heat for approximately 8 hours or until the meat is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Then use two forks to shred the meat.

Step 6

Discard any excess fat and cooking liquid from the slow cooker and return the shredded pork to the slow cooker.

Step 7

Pour BBQ sauce over the shredded pork and stir well to coat the meat evenly. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

While the pork is finishing, prepare the buns by lightly toasting them if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwiches by piling a generous amount of pulled pork onto each bun. Top with coleslaw if desired for added crunch and flavor.

Step 10

Serve the BBQ pulled pork sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
