Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Pork shoulder (or pork butt)
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder, but leave a little fat for added flavor.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, covering it completely.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the Crock Pot.
Pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth around the pork shoulder without washing off the rub.
Cover the Crock Pot and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the Crock Pot and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the Crock Pot and mix it with its juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, and let it warm for another 10-15 minutes on LOW heat.
Serve the pulled pork on buns, in tortillas, or as a main dish with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
