Maple BBQ Pulled Chicken or Pork

Serves 6-8

2 kg (4.5 lb) bone-in chicken pieces *
1 large yellow onion
4 cloves garlic
3 serrano chili peppers **
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp tomato paste
1.5″ chunk of ginger
1 tbsp chipotle chili powder
2 tsp cumin powder
1.5 tbsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
* It’s nice to use a blend of white and dark meat, so I used about 3 large breasts and 3 chicken legs/thighs. Pulled turkey is absolutely fabulous, and if you like you can substitute 2 medium bone-in turkey breasts (about 1 kg each) for the chicken pieces.

** Jalapenos are a good substitute if you don’t have serrano peppers.
