Ingredients
- 1 broiler chicken 4-5lbs (I used 840g of the pulled meat)
- 7 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 medium sweet onion
- 2 tsp salt to taste
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1.5 tbsp tabasco
- 5 talks green onions
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 small Serrano peppers optional instead of tabasco
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a baking dish place the chicken breast side down. Remove the giblets from the cavity and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the bird for 60-75 minutes (plus or minus 10 minutes) on a lower middle rack in the oven. I flip mine over to the other side around the 50 minute mark. Use a meat thermometer to temp the breast meat and ensure it is around 165°F.
- Once the chicken has cooked and cooled, tear the meat away from the bones, remove the skin, and cut the chicken into a small to medium sized dice. If you want extra flavor you can include some of the skin. Place into a large dish.
- Dice the onion and green onions into small pieces and add to the chicken.
- Add in the lemon juice, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together and taste, adjust the flavor with lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt as you see fit.
Plating
