Print Recipe

Pulled BBQ Plate with Coleslaw is a comforting and hearty dish featuring tender, slow-cooked pulled meat coated in rich barbecue sauce, served alongside a crunchy, tangy coleslaw for the perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs pork shoulder or chicken thighs
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the coleslaw:
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage (green or mixed)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the pork or chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Place meat in a slow cooker with broth, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until tender.
  3. Shred the meat with two forks and discard excess liquid. Return to the cooker and stir in barbecue sauce. Warm through.
  4. To make coleslaw, combine cabbage, carrots, mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Plate the pulled BBQ meat with a side of coleslaw. Serve with bread, cornbread, or roasted potatoes if desired.

Notes

  • Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix for faster prep.
  • Make it a sandwich by piling meat and slaw on a bun.
  • Coleslaw can be made a day ahead to deepen flavors.
  • Works well with jackfruit for a vegetarian version.
