Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 cup Gluten-free chicken broth
• 2 cups Gluten-free BBQ sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 8 buns Gluten-free hamburger buns (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by trimming any excess fat off the pork shoulder, and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder to coat it thoroughly.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 5

Place the seared pork shoulder into a slow cooker.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free chicken broth, gluten-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 7

Pour the sauce mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.

Step 10

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix well with the sauce.

Step 11

Serve the pulled pork on gluten-free hamburger buns if desired, or alongside your favorite gluten-free side dishes.
