Ingredients

  • 4-5 lbs pork shoulder (also known as pork butt)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)
  • 8 hamburger buns
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix

    Prepare the pork by trimming excess fat and patting it dry with paper towels.

    Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork shoulder.

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
