Ingredients: 1 boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), about 4 pounds, trimmed of large pieces of fat; 2 tablespoons light brown sugar; 1 tablespoon smoked paprika; 2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1 teaspoon chili powder; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1 large yellow onion, sliced; 1/2 cup chicken broth; 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce, plus more for serving; 10 soft hamburger or brioche buns; Coleslaw and dill pickle chips, for serving

Instructions

Mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and pepper. Rub all over the pork.
Scatter the onion in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Set the pork on top and pour the broth and vinegar around it.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, until the pork is so tender it falls apart when pressed with a fork.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred it with two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Skim the fat from the cooking liquid. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker with 1/2 cup of the liquid and the barbecue sauce. Stir and keep warm.
Pile the pork onto buns and top with coleslaw and pickles. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
