Indulge in savory pulled pork, bathed in an irresistibly delicious Jack Daniel’s sauce. Savor the flavor and elevate your slider game! This is not only a fabulous recipe for the Superbowl, but also a great meal prep recipe.  You can make the pork, and freeze some of it without any sauce for a different use (tacos, quesadillas, etc.).

The pork is very hands off since it’s baked in the oven.  I did not cover the Jack Daniel’s Sauce recipe in this video (but it is listed below), but I did over here. For this recipe, I used my Deep Covered Baker and Smoky Applewood Rub:

Deep Covered Baker

Make Dinner in the Oven or Microwave

From roasted chicken to stuffed peppers, you can cook almost anything in the Deep Covered Baker. It delivers tender, juicy results whenever you broil fish, braise beef, or roast turkey breasts with it in the oven or microwave! Plus, no preheating is necessary—just put your food on the stone, cook it, and serve it without dirtying another dish. And when it comes time to cleanup, just place the pieces in the dishwasher.

About White Satin Partially Glazed Stoneware

The elegant, white satin partially glazed exteriors combined with unglazed interiors make these stones ideal for going from the oven to the table. Made of all-natural clay, each stone develops a natural, nonstick finish over time—the more you cook, the better they get!

Made in USA

Ingredients

For the Pork

  • 4 lb. Pork shoulder
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Smoky Applewood Rub
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

For the Jack Daniel’s Sauce

  • 1 bulb garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 2/3 cup water
  • ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons minced white onion
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
  • 1 tablespoon crushed pineapple
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

For the Sliders

28-32 slider rolls

Instructions

For the Pulled Pork

Preheat oven to 325⁰ F/165 ⁰ C.

Combine brown sugar, Smoky Applewood Rub, salt, and pepper in small bowl. 

Rinse and pat dry the pork shoulder. Score the fat cap on the pork. Rub the Smoky Applewood mixture all over the pork shoulder. Place in Deep Covered Baker and cover with lid. Bake for three hours, or until thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers between 200⁰ F/205 ⁰F (93⁰CF/96⁰C).

Remove from oven and allow to rest for 30 minutes, then shred.

For the Jack Daniel’s Sauce (to see Video, click here)

Preheat oven to 325⁰ F/165 ⁰ C.

Cut off the very top of the garlic bulb, so that you can see some of the garlic.  Place bulb in small cast iron pan or baking dish, trimming root if needed for bulb to sit flat.  Drizzle with olive oil, cover with aluminum foil. Bake for one hour, until cloves are soft and fragrant. 

Remove from oven, set aside until slightly cooled.  Squeeze bulb to remove cloves.  Set aside two teaspoons for this recipe; you can freeze remaining garlic for another recipe.

In saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce and soy sauce, bring to a boil. 

Add in garlic, lemon juice, onion, bourbon whiskey, pineapple, and cayenne pepper, mixing to incorporate.  Simmer for 40 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by half.  The sauce should be thick; simmer up to 10 minutes longer if necessary.

For the Sliders

Shred pork with hands or Quick Shred. Mix pulled pork with Jack Daniels Sauce until combined. Warm slider rolls in 350°F/175⁰C oven for 5 minutes.

Scoop a nice portion of pulled pork onto the bottom of each slider roll. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    The average amount of pulled pork per slider roll claims to be approximately 2 ½ heaping tablespoons. I do find that it depends on the type of slider roll used. You be the judge for yours, just remember if you make very generous potions, you may not have enough left for the remaining slider rolls.
