Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add marinated chicken thighs to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

In the same skillet, add scallions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add remaining marinade and bring to a simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Thicken the sauce by mixing cornstarch with water and adding it to the skillet.

Cook until the sauce is glossy and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Return sliced chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce.

Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes.
