Ingredient breakdown

ingredients for pork sliders, including Hawaiian rolls, coleslaw ingredients, pickles, mayonnaise and BBQ sauce
ingredients for pulled pork sliders

Making BBQ pork sliders is very easy. Here is what you will need:

  • Hawaiian buns: Hawaiian buns are soft, fluffy, and smell like a hint of sweetness. I love these buns because of their small size and fluffy texture.
  • Pulled pork: The main hero of this recipe is pulled pork. You can make pulled pork at home or go for store-bought pulled pork as well.
  • BBQ sauce: use your favorite, just about any flavor will do.
  • Pickles: Pickles add freshness and tanginess to the sliders. You can use either pickled onions, cucumbers or whatever vegetable you like. 

how to make pork sliders

Follow these step-by-step instructions for easy pork sliders.

step 1: coleslaw topping (optional)

I prefer making the coleslaw ahead of time and keeping it in the fridge for a bit before adding to my sliders.

  • Shredded cabbage and carrots
  • Mayonnaise: You can either use full-fat mayonnaise or light mayonnaise for making coleslaw.
  • Apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar adds a refreshing and tangy flavor to the coleslaw. It cuts through the sweetness of the ingredients and the creaminess of the mayonnaise.
  • Sugar: Add sugar for the sweetness coleslaw is known for.
  • Celery seeds: It adds a tangy and salty flavor, pretty much like celery itself. You can use celery salt instead of celery seeds too.

step 2: assemble the sliders

Add your pulled pork to Hawaiian rolls, top with coleslaw, pickles, BBQ sauce, or more.

  • Meat: Although this recipe specifically calls for pulled pork, you can use pulled beef or pulled chicken or turkey meat as well. Whatever you love will work.
  • Cheese: Pepper Jack, white American, or Cheddar Cheese work well for sliders.
