This saucy shredded chicken takes inspiration from Mexican chicken tinga. Here we harness the wonderful complexity of dried chiles, which simmer with onions, tomatoes, spices, and chicken broth to slowly braise whole chicken legs. Cracking the lid of your cooking vessel helps concentrate the liquid as the chicken cooks. Once the chicken is fall-apart tender, remove it and blend the braising liquid and aromatics into a rich sauce to toss with the shredded meat. Use it to top tostadas or rice bowls, or as a filling for enchiladas and tacos.
