Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the chicken pieces and brown on both sides.
Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Add the onion to the fat remaining in the pan and gently fry for 5 minutes.
Drain off any fat, then add the Worcestershire sauce, water, tomato paste, orange rind (strips and grated) and juice. Bring to the boil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
