DUCK SAUCE
The name "duck sauce" was created in the United States because this sauce was originally served with deep-fried pressed duck, which had no sauce of its own. Duck sauce became popular as a dip for any food - from spareribs and egg rolls to almost anything else imaginable. There are so many versions of duck sauce that it is hard to decide which kind to make. However, I have created and tested the following, which I feel produces the best taste:

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken breasts for best results. Look for plump, evenly-colored pieces with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- If you don't have time to marinate the chicken overnight, you can marinate it for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor.
- Be sure to drain the chicken well before frying. This will help to prevent the chicken from becoming greasy.
- Fry the chicken in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and does not burn.
- Stir-fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as this will make it tough.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or teriyaki sauce.
