Pulled pork is a classic comfort food that is perfect for all kinds of events and gatherings. Its slow-cooked, tender, and juicy texture is what makes it a popular choice among BBQ lovers. Today, we will be sharing the best pulled pork recipe that is sure to have everyone coming back for more.

Ingredients:

– 4-5 lbs boneless pork shoulder
– 1 large onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)
– 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon salt
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
– Hamburger buns or rolls for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pork shoulder by trimming excess fat and cutting it into two or three equal-size pieces. This will allow it to cook more evenly and make it easier to shred later on.

2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Rub this mixture all over the pork pieces, ensuring an even coating.

3. Layer the sliced onion at the bottom of your slow cooker or crockpot, followed by the minced garlic.

4. Place the seasoned pork on top of the onions and garlic.

5. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar. Pour this mixture over the pork.

6. Cook the pork on low heat for about 8 hours or high heat for about 4 hours. The ideal texture is fork-tender and easily shredded.

7. Once cooked through, remove the pork from your slow cooker onto a large plate or cutting board. Using two forks, shred the pork into smaller pieces while discarding any fatty bits.

8. With the slow cooker set to low or warm, return the shredded pork back to the pot and allow it to soak up any remaining juices for an additional 20-30 minutes.

9. Serve your delicious pulled pork on hamburger buns or rolls, along with your favorite BBQ sauce and coleslaw, if desired. Enjoy!
