BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders Ingredients

Jump to Recipe

For the Pork

• 3-4 lb Boneless Pork Butt or Pork Shoulder
• 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1/4 cup Chicken Bone Broth
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2-3 Whole Peeled Garlic Cloves
• Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce (more or less depending on how saucy you like your meat): I used my family’s favorite barbecue sauce, Stubb’s however you can use whatever BBQ sauce you like.

For the Sliders

• Cooked Pork Butt, shredded
• 1/4 cup BBQ Sauce (more or less depending on how saucy you like your sandwiches)
• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 24 Soft Hawaiian Rolls or Your Favorite Slider Rolls
• 1/4 Butter
• 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

How to Make BBQ Pork Sliders

Here’s all of the simple steps you’ll need to bake up these incredibly tasty & hearty little sandwiches.

The Easy Recipe for Cooking Pork

To the bottom of a slow cooker, add the vinegar, chicken broth, & honey and whisk to combine. Place the garlic cloves in the crock pot.

Place the pork butt on top of the mixture and generously sprinkle the meat with salt & pepper (It’s a thick cut of meat so don’t be afraid that you’re adding too much salt!). 

Cook the pork on low for 6-8 hours.

Once the meat is fully cooked, shred the meat with 2 forks right inside the crockpot. The shredded pork will absorb the liquid giving it even more flavor, then mix in the barbecue sauce.

At this point, you can either begin building your sliders or allow the meat to cool, place in an airtight container, and then store in the refrigerator for use later.

Assembling the BBQ Pork Sliders

Preheat oven to 375°F.

With a sharp, serrated knife slice the slider Hawaiian buns in half. Remove the top of the buns & set aside.

Place the bottom buns on a baking sheet or inside of a casserole dish. Layer the shredded pork over the the buns, drizzle with a little additional BBQ sauce, sprinkle the shredded cheese, and then place the top of the buns on top.

In a small bowl add the butter, Worcestershire sauce, and everything bagel seasoning. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until completely melted.

Brush the butter mixture over the top half of the buns. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and for 10 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until bun tops are golden brown and cheese is melted. 

Enjoy!
