For the shredded chicken, rub the seasoning all over the chicken. Heat the oil in a large lidded saucepan or casserole and fry the chicken for 5 minutes, or until golden-brown. Pour over the passata and stock and tuck in the bay leaves. Add the cider vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat, cover and leave to simmer gently for 2 hours. When the chicken is very tender, carefully remove from the sauce and transfer to a plate. Shred with a couple of forks.
