Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the BBQ sauce mixture.
  • You can make the pulled pork ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
  • If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can also cook the pork in a Dutch oven in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3-4 hours, or until tender.
