Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture evenly over the pork shoulder.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the crockpot.
Add the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth around the pork shoulder, being careful not to wash off the seasoning.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easy to shred.
Once the pork is cooked, transfer it to a large cutting board or tray. Use two forks to shred the meat completely.
Return the shredded pork to the crockpot and mix it with the cooking juices. Stir in the sugar-free BBQ sauce and let it warm through for 10-15 minutes.
If making cole slaw, mix the cole slaw mix with light mayo and white vinegar in a bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
To assemble the sandwiches, spoon about 1/2 cup of pulled pork onto each whole wheat bun. Top with cole slaw if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
