Add more water until it covers the chicken again. Add white vinegar and wash the chicken. Pour out the water. Peel skin off the chicken ( if desired).
3
Add chicken to the large bowl with half sliced onion, tomato, green onion and cilantro. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and ketchup. Mix.

Get a large pot, turn heat to medium and add oil. Add the small bowl of onions and garlic to the oil and saute for 5 mins or when you see some garlic pieces turning brown. Add the marinated chicken. Hear it sizzle. Use a mixing spoon to blend everything together. Let it cook for 5 minutes. Use the mixing spoon to mix again. Let it cook for another 5 minutes. Now add mushroom soy sauce and oyster sauce. Mix. Cover with the lid for 15 minutes and let the natural juices come out. After 15 minutes, take the lid off, and mix. Let the chicken juices evaporate, till there is a thick gravy and very little liquid left. Keep an eye on it. 15 minutes After 15 minutes, add water until it barely covers the chicken. Let it come to a boil and wait 15 -20 minutes until it reaches the gravy consistency you want. Turn off the stove and your done! Enjoy with some rice, salad and some macaroni pie!
