Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and set your rack to the middle position.
In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the red hot, brown sugar, garlic powder, soy sauce, vinegar, and 2 tbs water. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside for now.
Meanwhile, season your chicken thighs with salt and pepper all over. Dredge/coat the chicken on all sides with corn starch, getting them nice and covered. Set a large (large enough to contain all of the chicken), deep-sided skillet over high to med-high heat and add enough oil into to cover the entire bottom surface (amount will vary depending on pan size).
Cook your chicken on all sides until brown and crispy; about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Once the chicken has cooked and browned nicely, turn off the heat and pour the sauce all over the meat – using a spoon to help coat everything, if needed. Place the pan in the oven and cook, uncovered, for about 5 to 8 minutes, just to crisp up the chicken and to help the sauce marry with the meat.
Top with green onion. Enjoy!
