Soft slider buns, juicy pulled pork, tangy coleslaw, and a little sweet barbecue sauce make every bite pop with smoky, savory contrast. A finishing drizzle of Smoked Ghost Pepper Infused Olive Oil adds layered heat and a deep smoky edge that carries through the pork and wakes up the slaw. It is the kind of game day or family dinner recipe people keep reaching for long after the platter looks empty.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Smoked Ghost Pepper Infused Olive Oil
- 2 cups cooked pulled pork shredded
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slider buns
- 1 1/2 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 4 dill pickle slices chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Method
Instructions
- 1. In a medium skillet over low heat, warm the pulled pork with the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until hot and well coated.
- 2. In a small bowl, stir together the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, and chopped dill pickles.
- 3. Split the slider buns and lightly brush the cut sides with melted butter. Toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until just golden.
- 4. Spoon the warm pulled pork onto the bottom halves of the buns.
- 5. Top with a mound of slaw, then drizzle the pork and slaw with Smoked Ghost Pepper Infused Olive Oil.
- 6. Cap with the top buns, press gently, and serve right away while the sliders are warm and soft.
Notes
Use the smoked ghost pepper oil sparingly and build to taste. The flavor is bold, smoky, and hot, so a little goes a long way. If you want a milder finish, drizzle only on the buns or over the top of the assembled sliders.

- Warm the pulled pork gently so it stays juicy before assembling the sliders.
- Add the smoked ghost pepper oil at the end so its smoky heat stays bright.
- If your barbecue sauce is very thick, loosen it with a splash of apple cider vinegar or water for easier mixing.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with potato salad, pickles, or kettle chips for a laid-back spread.
- These sliders fit right in at game day gatherings, cookouts, and casual dinner parties.
- Set out extra barbecue sauce on the side for guests who want more.
Storage
- Store leftover pork and slaw separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat the pork gently before assembling fresh sliders.

- Use brioche slider buns for a richer, softer finish.
- Add sliced pickles or thin red onion for extra crunch.
