Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder (pork butt)
- 0.5 cups yellow mustard
- 0.25 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 12 pieces slider buns
- 2 cups coleslaw (prepared or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder to create the South Carolina-style barbecue sauce.
Place the boneless pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the pork. Add the chicken broth around the sides of the pork to help keep it moist during cooking.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 8 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
Once the pork is cooked, transfer it to a large cutting board and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices and sauce. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Optional: If you’d like to toast the slider buns, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and lightly toast the cut sides of the buns until golden brown.
Assemble the sliders by adding a generous portion of pulled pork onto the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with coleslaw for added crunch and flavor, then place the top half of the bun on each slider.
Serve the sliders immediately, or keep the pulled pork warm in the slow cooker for guests to assemble their own sliders.
