Easy Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (5 pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Place your pork shoulder in the slow cooker and season generously with salt and pepper. Pour the cider vinegar around the pork. Cover and slow cook on Low for approximately 12 hours, or until the pork is very tender and easily shreds.
2. Remove the cooked pork shoulder from the slow cooker, discarding any bones or excess fat. Strain the cooking liquid, reserving 2 cups and discarding the rest. Use tongs or forks to shred the pork into delicious, tender strands, then return the shredded pork to the slow cooker.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour this flavorful mixture over the shredded pork in the slow cooker, ensuring the pork is well coated.
4. Cover the slow cooker and keep the pulled pork warm on the Low setting until you are ready to serve. Enjoy!
