Instructions

Begin by preparing the pork. Trim off any excess fat from the pork shoulder or pork butt and season generously with salt and pepper.
Place the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Carefully place the seasoned pork on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, and cumin until well combined. Pour this mixture over the pork in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
If desired, skim some of the fat off the cooking liquid in the slow cooker. You can also strain the cooking liquid and skim the fat for a less greasy sauce.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and toss it in the flavorful cooking liquid until well coated.
Serve the delicious shredded pork on hamburger buns, topped with your favorite coleslaw or pickles for added texture and flavor.
