   • Cut the chicken into pieces according to your preference. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
   • In a bowl, rub the chicken pieces with minced garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

2. Fry the Chicken:

   • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces. Fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
   • Add the fried chicken to the pan with the onions. Stir in the sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning powder. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is well-coated and the sauce has thickened slightly.

4. Finish and Serve:

   • Adjust the seasoning to your taste if needed. Once the chicken is thoroughly coated with the sauce and heated through, remove from heat.
   • Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
