What's better than a pulled pork sandwich? A Pulled Pork Sandwich on a Pretzel Bun. This recipe creates fall-off-the-bone tender pork shoulder. Simply shred it up, add your favorite barbecue sauce, and serve on a pretzel bun for the ultimate sandwich!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 qt. Chicken Stock
  • 3 tbsp Pit Boss Homestyle Pork Rub, divided
  • 4 Pretzel Buns
  • 1 1/2 Cups BBQ Sauce, Divided
  • 1/2 Cup Ketchup
  • 1, 4 lb. Pork Shoulder, Bone In

Directions

  • Fire up your Pit Boss and preheat to 400°F. If using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, chicken stock, ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of Pit Boss Homestyle Pork Rub. Whisk well to combine and set aside.
  • Season the pork shoulder with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Homestyle Pork Rub on all sides of the pork shoulder, then place on the grill and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pork shoulder from the grill and place in the disposable aluminum pan. Pour the sauce over the pork shoulder. It should come about 1/3 to ½ way up the side of the pork shoulder. Cover the top of the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Reduce the temperature of your Pit Boss grill to 250°F. Place the foil pan on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 hours, or until the pork is tender and falling off the bone.
  • Remove the pork from the grill and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Drain the liquid from the pan, reserving about a cup, then shred the pork and cover with the reserved liquid. Set 3 ½ to 4 cups of pulled pork aside for sandwiches, and save the remaining for future use.
  • While pork is resting, place 1 cup of BBQ sauce in a skillet and heat to simmer. Toss in reserved shredded pork. Divide pork among 4 pretzel buns, spoon additional BBQ sauce over the top and dig in!
