Notes
- For Whole30, use a Whole30 BBQ sauce. My two favorites are Primal Kitchen Foods and The New Primal.
- Searing the pork on both sides is optional, but gives the pork some nice color and texture.
- Chicken broth can be replaced with beef broth or even water if needed.
- Pork is done when it is easily pulled apart with two forks.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
