Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder (boneless)
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup hot BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 cup pickled jalapeños
- 6 pieces soft sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups coleslaw (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) or set up a slow cooker on a low setting.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and thoroughly coat it with the dry rub, massaging it into the meat.
Place the seasoned pork in a Dutch oven or slow cooker. Cover with a lid and cook for approximately 4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the 3-alarm sauce by combining the hot BBQ sauce and sriracha in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Set aside.
Once the pork is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and shred using two forks. Mix in the spicy BBQ sauce blend, ensuring the pork is evenly coated with the sauce.
Lightly butter the inside of each sandwich bun and toast them on a skillet or grill until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by adding a generous portion of the pulled pork mixture to the bottom bun. Top with pickled jalapeños for the second layer of heat and coleslaw (if desired) for a cool, crunchy contrast.
Place the top bun on the sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy your fiery 3 Alarm Spicy BBQ Pork Sandwiches!
