Trim excess fat from the pork butt, leaving some for moisture.

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork butt and let it sit for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
Place the seasoned pork butt in the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 6 hours, until the pork is easily shredded.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the meat using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, stir in the barbecue sauce, and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.
