Cut the pork into 1-inch pieces and brown them in the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6 minutes.
Place the pork, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, thyme, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in a slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes, until the pork reaches 160 F.
