In a large skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic: saute' 3 minutes. Add the chicken, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer about 35 minutes, until the chicken tests done. Remove the chicken from the bone and cut into shreds. Stir back into the juices.
