Ingredients
The BBQ Pulled Pork
- 1 lb boneless pork butt or 4-5 lb bone-in
- 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce
- 1 cup broth
Spice Rub
- ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon EACH: garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt
The Crispy Jalapeños
- 2 jalapeños thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour gluten-free if needed
- cooking oil
The Sandwiches
- 8 Brioche buns warmed
- Chipotle mayo see notes
- 4 cups coleslaw see notes
Instructions
The Pulled Pork
- Start by mixing the spice rub ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Remove the butcher twine from the pork and then cover it with the spices, working it into all the nooks and crannies.
- Place the pork in a slow cooker and add any remaining spices. Pour the BBQ sauce and broth into the slow cooker, cover with the lid, and turn the slow cooker on high for 5-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.
- Remove the pork from the pot and put it into a large bowl. Pour the juices into a medium-sized pot, bring it pot to a boil over high heat, and continue to boil until the juices reduce to the thickness of BBQ sauce.
- Shred the pork using two forks and then pour the reduced sauce into the bowl and mix well.
The Crispy Jalapeños
- Add the jalapeños and all flour to a bowl and mix around until the jalapeño slices are coated. Remove the jalapeños from the flour.
- Heat ½ inch of oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the jalapeño slices (in 2 batches) and fry for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove them from the pan and let them cool on a paper towel-lined plate.
The Sandwiches
- Slather the chipotle mayo on the buns. Pile on some BBQ pulled pork and then top with coleslaw and a handful of crispy jalapeños.
Notes
- We love using our homemade chipotle mayo, but store-bought works great, too.

- The coleslaw in the pictures is thinly sliced purple and green cabbage and grated carrot tossed with a little olive oil. You can buy a store-bought coleslaw mix if you'd prefer. Or choose one of our delicious coleslaw recipes!
