Ingredients: 

Pork and Chicken

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Dash hot sauce

1 (4-pound) bone-in pork shoulder

2 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken pieces or 1 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless meat

Dash liquid smoke

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Brunswick Stew

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 onion, diced

2 cups chicken broth, plus more, as needed

1 large potato, diced

1 (32-ounce) jar Dreamland Barbecue Sauce

1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 (14-ounce) can yellow corn

1 1/4 pounds pulled pork (above; see note)

1 1/4 pounds cooked and pulled chicken (above; see note)

Directions: 

For the pulled pork and chicken, start by combining vinegar, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce in a large, non-reactive bowl. Add the pork, turn to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 8 to 10 hours, turning occasionally. Transfer the entire contents of the bowl to a large slow cooker, add the chicken and liquid smoke, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender, 8 to 9 hours. Once done, remove the meat from the slow cooker, discard the cooking liquid, and let it cool enough to touch before shredding the meat with two forks. Discard all bones and skin. To make the Brunswick stew, melt butter in a stock pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and potato, bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce, tomatoes, corn, and the shredded pork and chicken. Return to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking, until all of the flavors have melded, about 2 hours. You can add additional chicken stock, as needed, to thin the stew. Enjoy your delicious Brunswick stew!
