Spicey Twicey cooked chicken

This is twice cooked chicken and it is to die for!

8-10 chicken drumsticks cooked in the slow cooker for the day. You don’t need to add any water, just season well with salt and some pepper, I have used herbamare.

When done take the chicken out and take all the meat off and shred with your fingers. Put all the juice at the bottom of your slow cooker in a cup, you will be using this. Keep the bones to make bone broth. I have a stash of bones in the freezer with other chicken bones and vege scraps, make when you have lots!

Spice mix 

Blend up until fine 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp of ginger, 2 cloves of garlic. No need to take the skin off the turmeric and ginger. Skin the garlic though. Plus 1 tsp ground coriander seeds, ½ tsp ground cumin seeds and 1 tsp smoked paprika.

 In a large pan heat a really good splash of the oil of your choice, at least 2 tbsp. Put in your spice mix and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add in your shredded chicken, stir in to coat the chicken, then add the leftover juice you set aside. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.

There you have twice cooked chicken to use for salads, on top of some rice with yoghurt sauce, burritos, pizzas etc….

I have made a kick ass salad with it using fried haloumi, cos  lettuce, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, diced capsicum and cucumber, fermented broccoli and homemade red cabbage sauerkraut.
