In a mixing bowl, whisk together the first 10 ingredients until brown sugar is dissolved and everything is well combined.
Place the chicken thighs (5 pounds) in a large, high-sided skillet or large pot, and pour sauce over the chicken. Turn the chicken over to coat both sides with the sauce.
Bring sauce to a boil, over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer partially covered, turning occasionally, until chicken registers 165 degrees when an instant-read thermometer is inserted near the bone, about 30-35 minutes.
Remove the chicken to a serving platter.
Add the cornstarch and water mixture to the liquid in the skillet, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, and cook until thick.
Adjust seasoning and pour sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
