Pulled Pork Recipe
Description
The recipe features a large pork shoulder or boneless chuck roast, generously rubbed with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Placed on a bed of chopped onions in a slow cooker, the pork absorbs aromatic flavors during low, slow cooking over eight hours.
A marinade of chicken broth, barbecue sauce, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and pressed garlic is poured over the meat, infusing it with tangy, smoky, and sweet notes. The slow cooker method yields fall-apart tender pork that shreds with forks.
After cooking, the meat is shredded and mixed with drippings and additional barbecue sauce for serving. This pulled pork is adaptable for sandwiches, tacos, or eating on its own.
