Ingredients

1 tsp vegetable oil

1 kg pork shoulder roast

1 cup barbecue sauce

0.5 cup apple cider vinegar

0.5 cup chicken broth

0.25 cup light brown sugar

1 tbsp prepared yellow mustard

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp chili powder

1 extra-large onion, chopped

2 large cloves garlic, crushed

1.5 tsp dried thyme

8 hamburger buns, split

2 tbsp butter, or as needed

Directions

In the bottom of a slow cooker, heat up the vegetable oil. Add in the pork roast, followed by barbecue sauce, vinegar, chicken broth, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onion, garlic, and thyme. Cover and cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours or High for 5 to 6 hours until the pork becomes tender enough to shred easily with forks.

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, mix well with the juices.

Butter the inside of both halves of hamburger buns. Toast buns, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat until they turn golden brown. Spoon pulled pork onto the toasted buns.
