Ingredients:
For the Pulled Pork:
3 lbs pork shoulder (or pork butt)
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup barbecue sauce (plus extra for serving)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 onion, sliced
For the Sliders:
12 slider buns (or Hawaiian rolls)
2 cups coleslaw (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup pickles, sliced (optional)
Instructions/How to Cook:
Prepare the Pork: In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork shoulder.
Slow Cook: Place the sliced onions in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add the pork shoulder on top. Pour in apple cider vinegar and chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5-6 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreds.
Shred the Pork: Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat. Mix the shredded pork with 1 cup of barbecue sauce.
Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. Place a generous amount of pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw and pickles (if using). Add the top half of the bun.
Serve: Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
Cooking Tips:
For a smokier flavor, add a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the slow cooker.
If you’re short on time, use pre-made pulled pork from the store and toss it in barbecue sauce.
Toast the slider buns lightly with butter for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
How to Serve:
Serve these Pulled Pork Sliders as a main dish for casual dinners, parties, or picnics. Pair them with sides like potato salad, baked beans, or corn on the cob. They’re also great for game day spreads or potlucks.
