Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork

In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.

2. Sear the Pork

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

3. Slow Cook the Pork

Pour chicken broth, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into the Dutch oven.
Cover and cook on low heat (300°F) for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is fall-apart tender.

4. Shred the Pork

Remove the pork from the Dutch oven and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the pot, stirring to coat it in the sauce.

5. Assemble the Sliders

Toast the slider buns if desired.
Pile the pulled pork onto each bun, drizzle with extra BBQ sauce, and top with coleslaw and pickles.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Expert Tips

For Extra Flavor: Let the pork sit with the spice rub for at least an hour before cooking.
Make It Crispier: Broil the shredded pork for a few minutes before serving for crispy edges.
Slow Cooker Alternative: Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
Best Buns: Use brioche or Hawaiian rolls for a soft and slightly sweet contrast.
Leftover Ideas: Use the pulled pork in tacos, nachos, or over baked potatoes.
