- Mix salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon together in a bowl; coat pork with spice mixture. Place bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and arrange pork on top. Pour chicken broth around the sides of pork, being careful not to rinse off spice mixture.
- Cover and cook on Low, turning after 5 hours, until pork shreds easily with a fork, about 10 hours in total.
- When the pork is tender, remove from the slow cooker; shred with two forks. Use cooking liquid as needed to moisten the meat.
