Mix all ingredients in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Cover, and cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender and pulls easily off the bone.

Do not add water, and be careful not to burn the chicken. Reduce the liquids until they are mostly oils.
