Helpful Cooking Tips
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 195°F for easy shredding.
- Let the pork rest for 10 minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
Directions
Whisk the smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub this spice blend all over the pork shoulder, making sure it’s nicely coated. Place the pork in your slow cooker, then pour in the broth and a splash of liquid smoke for extra flavor. Cover and let it cook on low for about 7 to 8 hours, until the meat is tender and easy to shred. Once it’s done, take the pork out and shred it with two forks. Pour the cooking liquid into a small saucepan, stir in the barbecue sauce, and heat it over medium-high heat. Keep it boiling and stirring until the sauce thickens and reduces to about half a cup, which should take around 7 to 8 minutes. Finally, toss the shredded pork back into the sauce, mix everything well, and enjoy!
