  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the marinated chicken thighs to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions (optional).
  8. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
