HOW DO I MAKE SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK?
In a small bowl, stir together all of the dry seasonings. Rub the mixture all over the pork.
Place the seasoned pork in your slow cooker. Carefully pour the chicken broth around the pork, not over it. We want to keep the seasonings on the pork.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6, depending on how much time you have.
About 20-30 minutes before you want to eat, carefully spoon out as much of the liquid as you can. Then, using a couple forks, shred the meat.
Add 1 cup of preferred BBQ sauce to the shredded meat and stir. Cover and let it cook for the remaining few minutes, until you are ready to serve.
