Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Boneless pork shoulder
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Your favorite BBQ sauce
- 8 Hamburger buns
Instructions
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Crush or mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, brown sugar, ground black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to make the spice rub.
Rinse and pat dry the pork shoulder with paper towels. Rub the spice blend all over the meat, ensuring even coverage.
Place the onion rings in an even layer on the bottom of the crock pot. Add the minced garlic on top of the onions.
Slowly pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth over the onions. This will serve as the cooking liquid.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onions in the crock pot, ensuring some of the onions are touching the meat for enhanced flavor.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
After cooking, carefully remove the pork shoulder from the crock pot and place it on a large cutting board or plate.
Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces, discarding any excess fat or connective tissue.
Skim any excess fat from the cooking liquid in the crock pot and discard. Add your shredded pork back into the crock pot and pour in the BBQ sauce, mixing thoroughly to coat the pork.
Switch the crock pot to the WARM setting and let the shredded pork BBQ soak in the sauce for 15–20 minutes.
Serve the pulled pork BBQ on lightly toasted hamburger buns alongside your favorite sides, like coleslaw or potato salad.
