🍖 Sweet Sinister Pulled Pork Sliders

Step into the dark side of BBQ. Sweet Sinister balances a smooth, bold sweetness with a medium heat finish that sneaks up just right. Slow-cooked pork soaked in this sauce makes sliders that are smoky, juicy, and just wicked enough to keep you coming back.

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 8–10 sliders)

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • 1 small onion, sliced

  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 cup Sweet Sinister BBQ Sauce (plus extra for serving)

  • Slider buns (8–10)

🔥 Instructions

1. Prep the Pork
Rub pork shoulder with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
