Take a whole chicken with the skin on. Wash and remove "extras" that may be left inside of bird cavity. Put in large pot and put in just enough water or chicken stock to cover it. Add some salt, pepper, chicken/poultry seasoning, and 1 and a half Tablespoons of Tex-Mex Seasoning. (recipe will follow). Boil on low-med. for 3-4 hrs. covered. Remove chicken from pot and shred it.
