1. Begin by patting the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. This step ensures a nice crust forms during cooking.
2. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, making sure it’s evenly coated.
3. Place the seasoned pork into your slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth over the pork.
4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulls apart. My abuela always said patience makes the best meals, and this is no exception!
5. Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the cooking juices for extra flavor.
6. While the pork is soaking up all the deliciousness, lightly toast your slider buns for added texture.
7. Assemble the sliders by piling the pulled pork onto the buns. Top with coleslaw if desired — the tangy crunch complements the rich pork beautifully.

There you have it! Simple steps to a mouthwatering meal that captures the essence of home-cooked goodness.
