Steps:

• For the chicken: Add the whole chicken to boiling water and boil until thoroughly and safely cooked.

Remove from the water and allow the chicken to drain and cool. Pull the meat in strips from the bone.
• For the sauce: In a large saucepan, toast the garlic in the oil over high heat until lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes. Add half the chicken broth and the peppers and sweat for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Fold in the pulled chicken. Reduce the heat, add the remaining chicken broth, and allow the mixture to simmer 5 to 10 minutes while stirring continuously. Keep warm.
• For the chili base: In a large saucepan, coat the bottom of the pan with the oil and sweat the onions and peppers over low heat. Stir often enough to avoid browning. Add the crushed tomatoes and spices and bring to boil. Add the beans and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the base reduce to the thickness you like in your chili.
