Place the pork shoulder on a cutting board. Trim excess fat if needed. Pat it dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better and improves flavor.

In a bowl, add barbecue sauce, chicken broth and apple cider vinegar. Add brown sugar and all spices. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.

Rub salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder all over the pork. Make sure every side is coated well for maximum flavor.

Place the seasoned pork into the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the pork. Make sure it is covered well with the sauce.

Cover the slow cooker with a lid. Cook on low heat for 8 hours. The slow cooking makes the pork tender and juicy.

After cooking, check the pork with a fork. It should break apart easily. If not, cook for another 30 minutes until soft.

Remove the pork from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred it into small pieces. It should be very easy to pull apart.

Put the shredded pork back into the slow cooker. Mix it with the remaining sauce. This adds more flavor and keeps it moist.

Cook the shredded pork for another 20 minutes on low heat. This helps the meat absorb all the delicious sauce.

Turn off the slow cooker. Serve the pulled pork warm. Enjoy it with buns, rice, or your favorite sides for a complete meal.
