Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork shoulder (bone-in)
• 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
• 8 pieces Soft sandwich buns
• 3 cups Coleslaw mix
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar (for slaw)
• 1 tablespoon Sugar (for slaw)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for slaw)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (for slaw)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper to form a dry rub.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly covered. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 3

In a large slow cooker, combine apple cider vinegar and chicken broth. Place the pork shoulder on top, cover with the lid, and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 4

Once cooked, transfer the pork to a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat, discarding any large pieces of fat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the cooking juices.

Step 5

Pour the barbecue sauce over the shredded pork and stir to combine. Let it warm on low for another 20-30 minutes.

Step 6

While the pork is warming, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Add the coleslaw mix and toss until fully coated.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous scoop of pulled pork on the bottom half of a sandwich bun. Top with coleslaw, then add the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Southern-style pulled pork sandwiches!
