Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 lb boneless pork shoulder
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- Bbq sauce for serving (optional)
- pickles for serving (optional)
- buns for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, oregano, paprika and black pepper in a small bowl
- Rub the seasoning mix all over the pork shoulder
- Add the chicken broth to the bottom of a slow cooker, place the seasoned meat on top
- Cover, cook on low 8 hours or until meat is easily shreddable
- Serve on buns with bbq sauce if desired
Notes
- Don't use water as the cooking liquid. I love to use broth since it adds more flavor, while water does not.
- If after 8 hours, the pork isn't tender let it cook longer. It should basically be falling apart.
- Want to short cut the spices? Use a premade barbecue spice rub if you'd rather.
