Steps:
- Heat a large pot over medium heat until hot. Add salsa; saute for 3 minutes.
- Add chicken thighs, brown sugar, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, thyme, black pepper, and cayenne. Add enough water to mostly cover the chicken; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is tender and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. Add more water if the bottom of the pot starts to dry out.
- Remove chicken from the pot and shred with 2 forks. Return to the pot and mix with sauce to coat.
