For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of sweet and smoky barbecue sauces. If you don't have time to marinate overnight, even a 3-hour marination will significantly enhance the flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to your preference. Some prefer a wetter, saucier pulled pork, while others like it drier. Serve on toasted brioche buns with a side of coleslaw for a classic pulled pork experience.
