Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat pan, add oil and cook the shallots, garlic, lemongrass, ginger and orange zest. Cook for about 4 minutes until veggies starting to soften. Note - the lemongrass won't really get soft but you will start to smell it's wonderful aroma! Then add the sugar, water, oj and fish sauce and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened up to the texture of syrup. Remove from heat.

Next heat oil in a large frying pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper than fry in batches until golden brown. Remember, don't crowd the pan or you won't get a nice sear. Next put the chicken in a baking pan and cover with the sauce. Bake for about 45 minutes. Be sure to baste the chicken with the sauce a couple of times during the cooking process. I also like to turn the chicken over during the cooking process. Before serving season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Enjoy!
