Pulled Pork Recipe

American · Main course · 500 min total

Tender, juicy pulled pork slow-cooked with a smoky-sweet rub, perfect for sandwiches or tacos.

Ingredients

• 1 (4-5 pound) bone-in pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder.
2. Place the pork in a slow cooker. Pour apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce around the pork (not over the rub).
3. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5-6 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
4. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let rest for 10 minutes. Shred with two forks, discarding the bone and any excess fat.
5. Optional: Skim fat from the cooking liquid and serve the shredded pork with some of the liquid for moisture.

Tips

• For extra flavor, sear the pork shoulder in a hot skillet before slow cooking.
• Serve on buns with coleslaw and barbecue sauce.
• Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for 3 months.
