Recipe Note
A great way to cook a whole chicken for this recipe is to place the chicken (seasoned withTrue Lime Cilantro & Garlic) into a crockpot or slow cooker. Cook on low for about 6-hours, then remove the chicken to let cool. Save the liquid to use for cooking! When chopping jalapenos, you may want to wear gloves. The oils from the peppers can remain on hands (and under fingernails) even after washing.
