These Mini Pulled-Pork Sliders are the ultimate bite-sized comfort food. Perfect for game day, potlucks, or holiday gatherings, these sliders are loaded with juicy, slow-cooked pork tossed in your favorite BBQ sauce, topped with tangy slaw, and served on soft slider buns.
The first time I made these was for a fall tailgate party, and they were gone before halftime. The pork was fall-apart tender, sweet and smoky from the sauce, and perfectly complemented by the cool, crunchy slaw. Whether you use a slow cooker, Instant Pot, or oven, this recipe is simple and foolproof.
These sliders are easy to prep ahead, making them ideal for hosting. Just warm up the pulled pork, assemble, and serve. You can switch up the toppings—add pickles, jalapeños, or even a slice of cheese to make them your own.
They may be mini, but they pack major flavor. Whether it’s Halloween finger food or a cozy fall gathering, these pulled-pork sliders are a delicious, crowd-approved favorite you’ll make again and again.
