📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, mustard and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined. Add the pork, then gently toss with the spice blend until it is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes, or overnight.

When you're ready to cook the pork, press "Sauté" on the Instant Pot. Add the oil. Then once it is hot (it will be shimmering), add a single layer of the pork pieces. Brown the pork on all sides, then transfer the pork to a clean plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining pieces of pork. (This may take you 2 or 3 batches.)
3
Once all of the pork has been browned, turn the Instant Pot off. Then add the browned pork, chicken stock, and 1 cup of the BBQ sauce to the Instant Pot, and give the mixture a quick toss to combine everything. Twist on the lid, turn the vent to "Sealing", then set the pressure cooker to "Manual" for ⏱️ 60 minutes. Once the time is up, let the vent naturally release. (Don't do the quick release option.)
4
Carefully open the lid. Transfer the pork to a separate clean plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the juices behind. Press the "Sauté" button once more, and let the sauce simmer for ⏱️ 10 minutes or until it has thickened and reduced by more than half. Meanwhile, shred the pork with two forks.**
5
Once the sauce has reduced a bit, skim some of the fat off of the top with a spoon or use a fat separator to separate and discard it. Then add the shredded pork back into the sauce, and give everything a good toss so that it can soak up those tasty juices.
6
Serve immediately, topped with an extra spoonful or two of the remaining BBQ sauce.
