Ingredients

• 4 lbs pork shoulder (bone-in or boneless)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup chicken or beef broth
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and rub the entire surface evenly with olive oil.

Step 3

Generously apply the spice mixture to the pork shoulder, pressing the rub into the meat for maximum flavor. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 4

In your slow cooker, combine the apple cider vinegar and chicken or beef broth.

Step 5

Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the slow cooker, fat-side up, and cover with the lid.

Step 6

Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulled apart.

Step 7

Once the pork is cooked, transfer it to a large cutting board or bowl. Use two forks to shred the meat, discarding any excess fat.

Step 8

Skim off any fat from the cooking liquid in the slow cooker. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in the barbecue sauce.

Step 9

Let the pork sit in the sauce for about 15 minutes on the 'warm' setting to absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Serve warm on buns, as a topping for nachos, or as a main dish with coleslaw and cornbread. Enjoy!
