In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients as listed above and mix well.

Dice the chicken thighs into 1.5-inch cubes. Don't pat the chicken dry as moisture is needed for the next step.

Transfer the chicken pieces into a large mixing bowl. Add cornstarch and toss to coat evenly.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken in small batches in a single layer until golden and crispy on both sides, about 6-8 minutes.

Remove and transfer fried chicken to a wire rack or a paper-towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil, which can cause soggy chicken.

On medium-high heat, add the sauce and simmer to thicken, about 1 minute.

Once thickened, add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Garnish with orange zest, sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy!
