Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb pork shoulder also called pork butt
  • 1 tbsp liquid smoke
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Pierce the pork shoulder all over with a fork to allow the flavors to penetrate better.
  • Rub the sea salt all over the pork shoulder generously.
  • Drizzle the liquid smoke over the pork, making sure it is evenly coated.
  • Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth around it.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  • Once cooked, shred the pork using two forks. Mix the meat with the juices in the slow cooker to ensure it remains moist and flavorful.
  • Serve hot with your favorite Hawaiian sides, or simply mound it on a warm plate with rice and veggies.

Notes

For a traditional Hawaiian touch, serve with steamed white rice and a side of macaroni salad. You can also freeze leftovers for easy future meals.
