Recipe - Chicken For Tinga

Stephen Ceideburg
1 Whole chicken, about 3
pounds
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Salt
2 Bay leaves, crushed
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
14 One half ounce Reduced sodium chicken broth

Pull off fat around the cavity of the chicken.

Blend together the garlic, salt, bay leaves, oregano, olive oil and lemon
juice. Rub under the breast skin and over all surfaces of chicken. Place
chicken in a Dutch oven and pour in the broth. Cover and roast in a
preheated 375 degree F. oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350
degrees F. and roast 50 minutes longer. Check halfway through cooking to
make sure there is still some broth in the pot. Add One half cup water or broth
if necessary.

Take chicken from pot and let cool. Remove and discard skin. Pull chicken
into shreds or chunks.
