Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta (optional)
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Extra buffalo sauce, to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mix all over the pork.
  2. Place the pork in the slow cooker. Pour buffalo wing sauce and chicken broth over the top. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours until pork shreds easily.
  3. While pork cooks, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well and let flavors marry.
  4. Remove pork from slow cooker and shred finely using two forks or meat claws. Skim off excess fat from slow cooker juices. Return shredded pork to slow cooker and stir into remaining sauce.
  5. Cook rice or cauliflower rice according to package directions. Chop celery and green onions, shred lettuce or greens, and crumble blue cheese if using.
  6. Assemble bowls by layering rice or cauliflower rice, topped with pulled pork, fresh greens, diced celery, and blue cheese. Drizzle chimichurri and extra buffalo sauce over the top. Garnish with green onions.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use pork shoulder with a good layer of fat for tenderness. Adjust buffalo sauce heat to preference. Keep some slow cooker liquid to moisten pork if needed. Make chimichurri fresh for best flavor. Can substitute rice with cauliflower rice for low-carb option. For vegetarian version, replace pork with shredded jackfruit cooked in buffalo sauce.
