Let it marinate for about ½ an hour. Now heat oil in a pan and deep fry the marinated chicken, till the chicken is cooked or it gets a golden color from both the sides. Let it fry on medium heat. Set it aside. Now heat oil in a pan , add ,curry leaves, chopped green chillies, green capsicum, spring onion, chopped garlic, chopped ginger and pinch of pepper powder. Now stir fry all the mixture for about 3-4 minutes. Add cornflour to little water and make cornstarch. In a pan add soya sauce, red chilli sauce, vinegar, pepper powder. Mix it till you get a thick consistency. Now add Chicken and 1/2 cup finely chopped green spring onion and stir fry all the ingredients for about a minute and then remove from flame.

You can skip adding cornstarch, is you want the chilli chicken very dry and if you want gravy add little water.
