Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 8 pieces Burger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cups Coleslaw (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.

Step 2

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture all over the meat, ensuring an even coating.

Step 3

Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and chicken stock to the slow cooker to keep the pork moist during cooking.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker and cook the pork on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the pork shoulder from the slow cooker and transfer it to a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Drain the cooking liquid from the slow cooker, reserving about 1 cup. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the reserved liquid and barbecue sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet until golden and crisp.

Step 8

To assemble the sammich, pile a generous amount of pulled pork onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw if desired, then add the top half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
