Add the remaining marinade to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and place cover on the pan. Let simmer for an hour. If the liquid drys out, add 1/2 cup of chicken broth
Remove chicken from pan and let cool. Pour remaining sauce into a plastic container and refrigerate. All ingredients can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Before serving, use your hands to remove the chicken from the bones. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan or cast iron pan. Refry the chicken meat until a few pieces form a crust. Place chicken in a serving dish.
Meanwhile, remove excess fat from the sauce, and add sauce to a sauce pan. Reduce until sauce is syrup like. Pour sauce over chicken and serve
