Ingredients

For Sandwiches

  • 6 sandwich buns
  • coleslaw optional, for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare the slow cooker by coating it lightly with cooking spray.
  • Season the pork roast all over with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Place the seasoned pork roast directly into the slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth until smooth.
  • Pour the honey BBQ mixture evenly over the pork roast in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  • Carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Shred the pork with two forks, discarding any excess fat.
  • Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid in the slow cooker, then return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix to coat with the sauce.
  • Serve the honey BBQ pork roast over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside your favorite side dishes.

For Sandwiches

  • To make sandwiches, toast the buns, if desired and pile the shredded pork onto each bun. Top with coleslaw for added crunch and flavor, if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftover BBQ pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Ensure that you leave the lid on the slow cooker during the entire cooking process so no steam escapes and disrupts it.
  • Trim the pork roast if it has large patches of fat on the outside. If it doesn’t, you can leave it as is.
