There’s something about a BBQ pulled pork recipe that just screams summer and good times with friends and family. I remember the first time I made this dish; it was for a fourth of July party. I was nervous, but it turned out to be a hit, with everyone asking for seconds (and the recipe!).
- 4 pounds pork shoulder,
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar,
- 1 tablespoon paprika,
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- 1 cup BBQ sauce,
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar,
- 1/2 cup chicken broth,
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard,
- 1 teaspoon onion powder,
Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring full coverage.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, dry mustard, and onion powder.
Place the pork in a slow cooker. Pour the liquid mixture over it, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the pork is very tender.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir well to coat with the sauce. Serve hot on buns, over rice, or with your favorite sides.
