BBQ Pork Sliders
These BBQ Pork Sliders are a mouthwatering delight that brings the smoky, sweet flavors of southern barbecue right to your table. Made with tender, juicy pork shoulder that has been slow-cooked to perfection and smothered in a rich and tangy BBQ sauce, each slider is served on a soft, pillowy bun and topped off with crunchy coleslaw for that perfect contrast. The combination of flavors and textures makes these sliders a crowd-pleaser for any gathering or family meal. Historically, BBQ pork sliders have their roots in the southern United States, where slow-cooking meats over wood fires has been a cherished tradition for centuries.
Ingredients
- Pork shoulder
- 3-4 pounds
- BBQ sauce
- 1 cup
- Onion
- 1 large, diced
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup
- Slider buns
- 12
- Coleslaw
- 2 cups (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, diced onion, minced garlic, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to create a harmonious sauce.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the pork shoulder, making sure it is well-coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender enough to be easily shredded with a fork.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the remaining sauce.
- To assemble the sliders, place a generous portion of the BBQ pork on the bottom half of each slider bun, top with coleslaw, and then place the top half of the bun on.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding some chopped jalapeños to the coleslaw.
- You can use a variety of BBQ sauces to customize the flavor—try a spicy or tangy version for a different twist.
- If you have leftovers, the BBQ pork can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated easily.
