    First, make the sauce because it will need to chill for an hour for flavors to develope. Take a small bowl, add all sauce ingredients and stir well to combine. Cover and let chill for 1 hour, so the flavor of the spices can blend.
  • 2
    Cook chicken, you can fry it or even boil it. Chop and shred the chicken, and season it with seasoned salt or salt and pepper.
