Pulled Pork Sliders are getting some time in the spotlight today!!
These pulled pork sliders have been on rotation in our house for years. I love that I can throw everything into the slow cooker in the morning, toast some slider buns in the afternoon and then throw it all together when it’s time to eat. It takes absolutely zero concentration which is exactly what I need these coming months because life is about to get a little hectic.
So, if you’re looking for something delicious, easy, simple, and awesome… look no further. Pulled Pork Sliders are your new jam. Throw some pickles or picked onions on top to give it an extra crunch and you’re on your way! You can even make ahead your own using the homemade spicy pickle recipe that comes together so quickly.

So easy, delicious, and great for a party!
These were so delicious for game day and VERY easy to make! I used the Instant Pot and did Manual 40 minutes pressure cook and they turned out great. Warning - it makes a mess as you shred this with the sauce, but worth it! Thank you Gaby 🙂
Hi Gaby! Can I use boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of the pork? Same cook time? Thanks! Looks so yummy! Planning to make for SB this year!
I would use this recipe if you're going to do chicken https://whatsgabycooking.com/shredded-bbq-chicken-burgers/
but chicken thighs would be easier to shred bc of their fat content!
When you say it serves 10 people, how many sliders is every person getting? Just try to decide if I should double the recipe.
2-3 sliders per person depending on how full you make each one
If making ahead and then reheating for an event, should I keep it in it's juices or keep them separate until time to reheat?
Keep them with the juices!
would you change anything If I swap out the pork for chicken thighs, or just follow the recipe the same?
Gaby- OMG. I may have already reviewed this but I don’t care. This is the easiest / most delicious recipe ever. My husband had five sliders and was in awe. I looked like a genius. You’re the best! Love to Poppy and Thomas <3
Hi Gaby! If making this in the instant pot, what settings and time to cook it for?
I would do: manual high pressure for 40 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release.
