Tips

1. Marinating the chicken brings out more flavour; don't skip this step.

2. The thermometer should read 74°C to know if the chicken is done. Otherwise, cut a piece of chicken, press the knife against it, and check if the fluid is transparent.

3. You can shred the chicken in a food processor or use two forks.
