2 pounds chicken legs and thighs
1 bay leaf
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 head garlic, cloves slightly
    mashed to loosen skins
3/4 cup bitter (Seville) orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
1/8 teaspoon cumin
2 onions, peeled and thinly sliced
4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Place the chicken and bay leaf in a stockpot. Cover with water by an inch and bring to a boil; skim and discard impurities. Turn heat down and cook, covered, at a lively simmer for about 45 minutes or until meat falls off the bones.

Strain, reserve cooking liquid for another use. Discard chicken skin and bones. When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into strips with your hands. Reserve.

To make the mojo, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet and lightly saut
