Recipe View 1 hrs 30 mins Final Infusion: Cover the slow cooker and cook on High heat for 1 to 2 hours, or until the pork has fully absorbed the barbecue sauce and flavors have melded together beautifully. (Final cook time: 1-2 hours)

For a richer flavor, consider searing the pork shoulder in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
Adjust the amount of chipotle powder to your desired level of spiciness.
If you don't have bourbon on hand, you can substitute with rum or leave it out altogether.
Serve on toasted brioche buns with coleslaw for a classic pulled pork sandwich, or get creative and use it as a topping for nachos or tacos.

    I was a bit skeptical about the bourbon at first, but it really enhances the flavors. I’ll definitely make this again!
