How to Make Barbecued Pulled Pork
- Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder.
- Season the pork shoulder generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce ingredients (following the linked BBQ sauce recipe).
- Place the seasoned pork shoulder in your slow cooker.
- Pour the BBQ sauce over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's coated evenly.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Use two forks to shred the pork, discarding any large pieces of fat.
- Mix the shredded pork with some of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker to keep it moist.
- Serve on buns with your favorite coleslaw, or enjoy it as a standalone dish.
