Steps

• Pulled Pork
• Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
• In a small bowl, combine the barbecue rub, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
• Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, making sure to coat it evenly.
• Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan and pour the apple cider vinegar and water into the pan.
• Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
• Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Shred the pork using two forks, discarding any excess fat.
• Spicy Whiskey Barbecue Sauce
• In a saucepan, combine the ketchup, whiskey, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, liquid smoke, and hot sauce.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
• Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.
• Transfer the sauce to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
• Spread a generous amount of the spicy whiskey barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each burger bun.
• Top with a portion of the pulled pork and drizzle with additional barbecue sauce.
• Add your favorite burger toppings, such as coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions.
• Place the top half of the burger bun on top and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the pork shoulder in the barbecue rub overnight before roasting.
• If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce.
• Serve the pulled pork burger with a side of sweet potato fries or corn on the cob for a complete meal.

Information

• The pulled pork can also be cooked in a slow cooker on low heat for 8-10 hours.
