Spices for pulled chicken?

JaimeBrown5

I'd like to make some pulled chicken in my crockpot and season it Mexican-style for chicken tacos - what would I use? I have only ever made ground beef/turkey Mexican style and I use a pre-made mix... but I'd prefer to do this one myself with just spices and eleven pounds of sodium in it. Or is there a sauce I can pour over the chicken while it's cooking? Nothing crazy spicy, my boyfriend doesn't like tons of heat.

depending on what part of the country you are buy some frozen red chili OR buy fresh red chilis and puree them with a little water and salt and pepper. OMG that sounds sooo good. Im from NM and we put chili on EVERYTHING!

Adobo seasoning. if you can find sazon seasoning, that's the best. If nothing else, poultry seasoning along with some paprika, cumin, & cilantro (a tiny bit of curry powder is good too)

Found this on here in the forums and loved it. You can use Mild salsa if you don't want it to be spicy.

Just some salsa mixed in with the chicken makes really good tacos! It's good to drain the chicken after it's cooked, shred it, and then add salsa. Heat until warm.
