By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 3-5 lb. chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 can chicken broth (14.5 oz.)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
• salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in large pot, brown garlic. Remove garlic and brown pieces of chicken in the oil.  Remove chicken and drain oil.  Return chicken to the pot. Pour chicken stock into a large measuring cup, add liquid smoke and soy sauce  to it, stir, and add the liquid to the pot. If liquid does not cover the chicken, add water.  Bring liquid to a boil, simmer for 45 minutes.

When meat is soft enough, remove to a bowl and use two forks to shred the meat off the bone. Discard bones. Add liquid from the pot to season it and make it moist.  Add salt if desired. Serve your kalua chicken with poi or rice!
