Directions
Place thinly sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. In a large mixing bowl, place brown sugar, chili powder, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, and cinnamon together and mix well. Add wine, chicken stock, worcestershire sauce, bbq sauce and garlic in to the spices. Set pork loin on top of onion slices and pour the spice mixture over top of loin. Set slow cooker to low and cook for 8 hours. Once done cooking, remove the loin from the sauce and shred using 2 forks, set aside. Pour off liquid from the slow cooker, set aside. Return the meat back into the slow cooker and slowly add the liquid back in to the slow cooker till desired consistency. Serve on buns.
