Ingredients
Meat
- 4 lbs pork shoulder
Vegetables
- 1 onion, sliced
Liquids and Sauces
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
Seasonings
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the pork: Generously season the 4 lbs of pork shoulder with salt and pepper on all sides to enhance the flavor.
- Prepare the slow cooker: Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the crockpot to create a flavorful base for the pork.
- Add pork and liquids: Place the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onions, then pour 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of BBQ sauce evenly over the pork.
- Cook low and slow: Cover and cook the pork on the low setting of your crockpot for 8 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and infused with flavor.
- Shred and serve: Remove the pork from the crockpot, shred it using two forks, mix in some of the cooking juices for extra moisture, and serve hot on buns for delicious pulled pork sandwiches.
Notes
- For spicier pulled pork, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper along with the seasonings.
- Using chicken broth helps keep the pork moist while cooking, but water can be substituted if needed.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Serve with coleslaw, pickles, or your favorite sides for a complete meal.
