Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork shoulder (also called pork butt)
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 pieces Hamburger buns (optional, for serving)
• 1 cup Coleslaw (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder if desired, but leave a little fat for flavor.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork shoulder.

Step 4

Place the pork shoulder into the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth around the meat.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it onto a cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks, removing any large pieces of fat as you go.

Step 7

Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker, leaving about 1/2 cup of the juices behind to keep the pork moist.

Step 8

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in the BBQ sauce. Mix well to coat all the meat.

Step 9

Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve the pulled pork on hamburger buns with coleslaw, if desired, or use it as a filling for tacos, nachos, or salads.
