Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork shoulder (boneless)
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
• 12 pieces Mini sandwich buns
• 1 cup Coleslaw (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork shoulder, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 4

Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and chicken stock around the pork, making sure not to wash off the seasoning.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with its lid, set to low heat, and cook for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 6

Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board or platter.

Step 7

Using two forks, shred the pork into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 8

Transfer the shredded pork back into the slow cooker and mix it with the BBQ sauce. Allow it to simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 9

Lightly toast the mini sandwich buns for added texture if desired.

Step 10

Spoon a generous amount of pulled pork onto the bottom half of each mini bun. Top with coleslaw, if using, and place the other half of the bun on top.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
