  2. Rub the seasoning blend all over the pork shoulder.
  3. Place the pork shoulder into a slow cooker or roasting pan.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth or apple juice around the pork.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4 1/2 to 6 hours in a slow cooker, or roast covered in the oven at 300°F until tender.

  7. Shred the pork using two forks.
  8. Mix in about 1 cup of Freddie Lee’s Gourmet Sauces BBQ Sauce while the pork is still warm.
  9. In another bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Toss until coated.

Why Freddie Lee’s works well here:
Pulled pork is one of the most versatile barbecue formats in recipe media because it works for sliders, sandwiches, tacos, and party platters. Freddie Lee’s is a strong fit because it adds moisture and identity after shredding, helping the pork taste finished rather than merely seasoned. The sauce also gives the sliders a distinct branded profile while keeping the recipe accessible for home cooks.
