1 Tbsp salt
2-3 quarts low sodium chicken broth
Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cook 3 hours or until meat falls off bones.
Remove meat with slotted spoon. When ready to eat, place chunks of meat onto baking sheets with sides, -drizzle with a little olive oil and bake 350 for about 15 minutes or until edges crisp up. Serve on hot tortillas, with cheese, salsa, guacamole or what ever you like.
Do not discard cooking liquid. Make carnita gravy with it.
