Method

• 1
  Preheat oven to 140C. Place chicken, breast-side down, on a board. Use kitchen scissors to cut along either side of the backbone. Discard. Turn chicken over and press down on the breastbone to flatten. Place in a roasting pan.

  Combine paprika, coriander, cumin, oregano, thyme and celery salt in a bowl. Season well with pepper. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over the chicken. Pour in stock. Cover tightly with foil. Roast, basting occasionally with pan juices, for 1½ hours or until chicken is very tender.

  Increase oven to 200C. Remove foil and roast for a further 20 mins or until chicken is golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly. Use 2 forks to coarsely shred the chicken, discarding the bones.
