  • You can grill or bake your chicken, preheat your oven to 400 or your grill to medium high.
  • Cook the chicken, if in the oven this should take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the chicken cool so you can handle it, and remove it from the bone, chop it and mix well. At this point you can add some more seasoning if you like.
