List of ingredients for Tex-Mex pulled chicken


* 2 tablespoons Olive oil
* 1 Onion, peeled and sliced
* 2 Cloves of Garlic, peeled and crushed
* 1 teaspoon white Cumin seeds Ground to powder
* ½ teaspoon Chilli powder (or to taste)
* ½ teaspoon Mustard powder
* ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
* ½ teaspoon Ginger powder
* 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds, Ground to powder
* 1 teaspoon of paprika powder, smoked paprika powder is even better if you have it.
* Pinch of Ground cinnamon powder
* * Note to self: go easy on the cinnamon!
* 1kg Chicken pieces for four people, skin removed - one medium 1.3kg chicken, jointed, is ideal.
* Sea salt and Freshly ground black pepper to taste
* 2 teaspoons of muscovado sugar or brown sugar
* 190 ml (3/4 cup) cup of Tomato salsa, you can make your own here but bottled Salsa is still pretty good
* 250 ml (1 cup) Chicken stock
* Juice and Zest of ½ a Lime

===Method===
* Heat the Olive oil in a pan and gently sauté the Onion and Garlic until it is translucent - about 6 minutes
* Add the Spices and Stir-fry for a few minutes
* Mix in the Chicken, Salsa brown sugar and Chicken stock, bring to the Boil then reduce to a Simmer
* Cover and cook for 40 minutes then remove the Chicken pieces from the pot and allow to cool a little
* Leave the cover off the pan and continue Simmering the Sauce until it is reduced by more than half and most of the sauce has gone - probably another 30 minutes.
* Meanwhile use 2 forks and shred the Meat from the bones
* Once the Sauce has reduced, add back the Chicken, mix in the Lime juice and Zest and season to taste
