1

Get your chicken cut up if it's not already.

2

Add 20 cups of water to a large pot.

3

Add the quartered onion, salted green onions, salt, pepper, and all the chicken to the pot.

4

Boil for about 1 hour, adjusting time based on the size of the chicken pieces.

5

Prepare salted green onions a day before by combining green onions and large grain kosher salt, letting them sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

6

After boiling, remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.

7

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a large baking dish (about 13x17 inches).

8

Grate the potatoes using a food processor for efficiency.

9

Place grated potatoes in a fine mesh cloth or cheese cloth and squeeze out as much water as possible.

10

Once the chicken is shredded and the broth is ready, add the hot broth to the potato mixture, stirring constantly and adding one cup at a time until the consistency is similar to porridge.
