Notes

For best results, use the best quality BBQ sauce you can, or simply your favourite.

Don't worry about needing to add extra moisture to the slow cooker. Once the pork starts to cook in the sauce, moisture will ooze out of the meat.

If you want to use half the amount of pork, then use 1 cup of BBQ sauce instead

For extra juicy pulled pork, cover the slow cooker with tin foil to prevent moisture from escaping, then place the lid on top.

A quick shredding hack I've seen on TikTok recently is using an electric hand mixer to break up the meat while still in the slow cooker. Let me know how it worked!
