Description

Cooking a whole chicken like this gives a moist, flavour some result. Use leftovers in salads or wraps.

Method

Step 1 of 6

Preheat the oven to 160°C (Gas 3). Put the chicken (breast-side down), vinegar, chilli flakes, 1 tbs salt, onion, and garlic in a flameproof casserole or Dutch oven. Add 1 liter water and cook in the oven for 1 1/2 hours.

Step 2 of 6

For the pico de gallo, mix together the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, garlic, coriander, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt to taste and set aside to let the flavours blend.

Step 3 of 6

For the pickled onions, put the onion, vinegar, and 1 tbs salt in a non-reactive saucepan (not aluminum or cast iron) over a medium heat. Simmer until the onion is translucent and light pink in colour. Remove from the heat to cool.

Step 4 of 6

For the avocado cream, put the yoghurt, avocado, lime juice, and coriander in a small bowl. Mash together with a fork until creamy. Season with a pinch of salt.

Step 5 of 6

Remove the chicken from its cooking liquid, pull the meat from the bones, and discard the skin (reserve the bones for making stock). Using your hands, or two forks, shred the chicken. Toss with the vinegar, chilli flakes, and paprika. Season to taste.

Step 6 of 6

Drain the pico de gallo through a fine mesh strainer. Layer the avocado cream, chicken, pico de gallo, and pickled onions on top of the tortillas and serve.
