Classic Pulled Pork

Ingredients

• 4 lb pork shoulder (pork butt)
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for serving
• 8 hamburger buns

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, mix the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper, then rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder.
2. 2Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth around the sides.
3. 3Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 5 hours, until the pork is very tender and shreds easily with a fork.
4. 4Transfer the pork to a large bowl or cutting board, discard any excess fat, and shred the meat using two forks.
5. 5Skim excess fat from the liquid left in the slow cooker, then stir the shredded pork back in along with the barbecue sauce.
6. 6Let the pork sit in the sauce on warm for about 10 minutes so it can soak up the flavor, then pile onto buns and serve with extra barbecue sauce.
