Helpful Tips for Pulled Pork Perfection

Choosing the Right Cut of Pork: The best cuts for pulled pork are pork shoulder or pork butt. They are marbled with fat, which breaks down during the slow cooking process, resulting in tender, juicy meat. Avoid lean cuts like pork loin, as they can turn out too dry.

Making Homemade Coleslaw: While store-bought coleslaw is a convenient option, making your own can add an extra touch of freshness and flavor to your sliders. Simply mix shredded cabbage and carrots with mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Let it sit in the fridge for an hour before serving.

Ingredients
  

For the Pulled Pork:

  • 3-4 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Sliders:

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork:

  • Rub the pork shoulder with smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until beautifully browned.

Set Up Your Slow Cooker:

  • Place the chopped onion and minced garlic at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Add the seared pork shoulder on top of the onions and garlic.

Add Liquids:

  • Pour the chicken broth and BBQ sauce over the pork shoulder.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. If using an Instant Pot, cook on the "Meat" setting for about 1 hour.

Shred the Pork:

  • Once the pork is cooked through (use your meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 190-195°F), remove it from the slow cooker.
  • Use two forks to shred the meat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining juices and BBQ sauce.

Assemble the Sliders:

  • Slice your slider buns in half.
  • Pile on a generous portion of pulled pork, top with coleslaw, and add pickles if you like.
  • Close with the top bun.

Serve & Enjoy:

  • Serve the sliders hot and enjoy the rich smoky flavors melding perfectly with the tangy BBQ sauce and creamy coleslaw.
