Cut onion, red and green peppers the same size as the chicken; blanch vegetables. Pour water, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, hoisin sauce and chili sauce into the wok and bring to a boil. Thicken with cornstarch mixture.It is very important that the sauce be on the light side because of the amount of sugar and the batter coating on the chicken. Turn off heat and stir the prepared chicken and vegetables.
