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.
