Ingredients
4 lbs boneless pork shoulder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
12 slider buns
2 cups coleslaw mix
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (for slaw)
Instructions
Mix paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub all over pork shoulder.
Place pork in a slow cooker. Add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar and chicken broth. Cook on low for 8 hours or until fork-tender.
Remove pork from slow cooker, shred with two forks. Discard excess fat.
Pour out most of the cooking liquid, leaving about 1/2 cup. Return shredded pork to slow cooker, add barbecue sauce, and stir to coat. Keep warm.
In a bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Split slider buns and toast if desired. Pile pulled pork on bottom buns, top with coleslaw, and cover with top buns. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra smoky flavor, add 1 tsp liquid smoke to the slow cooker.
Leftover pulled pork can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for 3 months.
