These BBQ pulled pork sliders are a quick and comforting snack made with tender pulled pork and soft Hawaiian rolls, featuring a homemade tangy-sweet BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds pork shoulder (pork butt), well-marbled
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 12 soft Hawaiian rolls (King’s Hawaiian recommended)
  • Optional toppings: pickles, coleslaw, sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder if needed. Slice the onion thinly and mince the garlic cloves. Season the pork generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, rubbing it all over the meat.
  2. Optional: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Brown the pork on all sides until a crust forms to add depth of flavor.
  3. Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the pork on top.
  4. In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Pour half over the pork in the slow cooker, reserving the rest for later.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
  6. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred using forks or meat claws. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in the remaining BBQ sauce to coat evenly.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Hawaiian rolls on a baking sheet and warm for 5-7 minutes until soft and slightly toasty.
  8. Slice the rolls in half horizontally. Pile generous portions of pulled pork on the bottom halves. Add optional toppings like pickles or coleslaw, then sandwich with the top halves.
  9. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Season pork shoulder well before cooking for better flavor. Searing the pork is optional but adds depth. Let pork rest 5-10 minutes before shredding to retain juices. Warm Hawaiian rolls before assembling for best texture. Add BBQ sauce gradually to avoid soggy sliders. Leftover pork can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen up to 3 months. Reheat gently with a splash of water to keep moist.
