Pour over the chicken broth.

Put a strainer on top of a heat proof bowl, and pour the sliced onions and liquids through it. Put the onions back into the slow cooker (or a serving bowl). Add the pork shoulder, the thoroughly shred (pull) the pork apart using two forks. Mix the onions and the pulled pork evenly, and add the juices until it’s moist (but not wet).
