Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder but leave a thin layer for flavor.

  2. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create a dry rub.

  3. Massage the dry rub all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  4. Cover the pork and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.

  5. Place the seasoned pork shoulder into a slow cooker.

  6. In a separate bowl, mix the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, then pour over the pork.

  7. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

  8. In a saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard.

  9. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  10. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board.

  11. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces and discard any excess fat.

  12. Pour the homemade sauce over the shredded pork and mix well to coat evenly.

  13. Serve the pulled pork on toasted hamburger buns with your favorite coleslaw or pickles on the side.
