When I write about Gold’s I get uber nostalgic. Gold’s Duck Sauce was perhaps my first kitchen lifesaver. My first proof (to no one other than myself) that YES, I got this! My first triumph with Hubby back seat cooking right by my side.
About a week into my marriage, as a recovering vegetarian, I found myself staring at this raw chicken, wondering if there is a way to cook it without touching it. Hubby came to my rescue sharing his all-time favorite chicken recipe. I called it bachelor food until I realized this “recipe” graced many a Shabbos table all over the world.
Apricot Chicken
And the recipe is… Duck Sauce Chicken. Yup, it’s chicken with duck sauce just slathered over it. Now here was a “recipe” that was just my speed. I actually measured out the exact amount of sauce for your benefit, but in reality I never measure, just eyeball and pour.
Duck sauce chicken was the basis for the concept of my first cookbook and the entire Quick & Kosher brand. In fact I almost called the book “Duck Sauce Chicken”, seriously! But I was talked out if it with reasoning like “people will think it’s just chicken recipes”, or “just Chinese food”.

The prep time on this recipe is just 3 minutes and that includes 2 minutes and 50 seconds to clean the bird. Otherwise, the recipe takes just 10 seconds—and people love it!
They always ask me what’s on the chicken and I answer,

It’s almost embarrassing. But I do have a secret… it’s Gold’s Cantonese Style Duck Sauce. I have borrowed a generic brand, from my neighbor, once, when I ran out and ooooh, it was NOT the same. It was thinner and not as flavorful and didn’t behave or taste or look like I wanted. That was just once. Never again. So now people know my recipe and my secret ingredient, which really is just as important. I mean come on, when there are only two ingredients one of which is chicken the second better be a winner. And Gold’s Duck Sauce is mine. I have been known to kiss the bottle in thanks!

I mix it with good old onion soup mix to make a roast. I often use the hot and spicy.
I used to have it on turkey breast back in Canada. Then I moved to Israel and that was that for about 10 years until I went to a friend who used it while bbqing. I then desperately searched in Israel for a place with North American food within driving distance that had Gold’s Duck Sauce. It took me 6 months but now I always have a jar or two on hand. I either grill my chicken with it in the oven or bbq.
We use Gold’s Duck Sauce in many ways. Some of our favorites include chicken, pot roast, and ribs. Recently I tried mixing the duck sauce with prepared quinoa. I had mixed it with prepared rice in the past, and we really liked it. It was even better with quinoa. Prepare the quinoa as directed on the package. I used chicken broth instead of water. Warm the duck sauce in the microwave and add whatever amount you like, to taste. We like ours sweet. This is such an easy and yummy side dish. This quinoa recipe can also be used for Passover.
I just pour the Duck Sauce on the chicken (usually skinned and wonderful at Passover) and baste the chicken with it from time-to-time until the chicken is cooked through.
Add ketchup and blended chipotles in adobo to duck sauce and it makes a great sweet/spicy bbq sauce!

I love to use Gold’s Duck Sauce year round. It is certainly a lifesaver at Passover, but year round I use it to make my own version of Hawaiian Chicken, which, by the way, thanks to Gold’s, is also Kosher for Passover! I could go on and on about the other recipes I use it in, such as my turkey loaf!
I use it on my stir fry vegetables and quinoa dish.
Saute veges and pour over the duck sauce and then add a little duck sauce to the quinoa.It is a great tasty filling meal.
The Sweet and Sour Salmon is simple and delicious. How come I did not think of using duck sauce on fish. It is also a perfect Pesach recipe. Thank you for a great recipe.
I like duck sauce on my egg rolls. Thanks!
I use it with chicken.
I love duck sauce on crispy spring rolls and summer rolls! And as a snack on wonton noodles 🙂
I cannot believe how easy and delicious this recipe is. I am always looking for recipes that can be used for Pesach and this fits the bill. I can’t believe that I never thought of using Duck Sauce on fish, but this is yummy and 1 cup of duck sauce is just enough for sweetness mixed with the tang of ketchup.
A favorite family recipe is Duck Sauce Turkey. I pour a cup of orange juice on the turkey (optional), sprinkle garlic powder, pepper and paprika and then 1/2 jar of Gold’s duck sauce. Cover with foil and roast/bake as per turkey poundage instructions. It is incredibly good and I serve it for Rosh Hashana and Pesach (Gold’s sauce is OUP) and whenever I have lots of company. A winner, YUM!
I saute onions and peppers and add duck sauce to it and cook it for 10 minutes. I then cube both white and sweet potatoes and put them on the bottom of a roasting on top of which I put the chicken. I then cover the chicken and potatoes with the duck sauce and onions and peppers and then bake it covered at 350 degrees for two hours. Not only do you get a better chicken but a great side dish as well.
I sprinkle garlic powder on chicken pieces, then drizzle with honey & then pour Gold’s duck sauce all over it & bake. Delicious!
I have a different version of duck sauce chicken which my family prefers. Saute an onion with some garlic and a red pepper and green pepper. Pour the duck sauce in and cook for 10 minutes. Cube two white potatoes and one sweet potato and put it in a roasting pan with your chicken. Put some salt, pepper and paprika on the chicken to taste. Pour the duck sauce mixture over the chicken and potatoes and cook covered at 350 degrees for two hours. You now not only have duck sauce chicken but a great side dish as well.
Duck sauce chicken – yum

I add duck suace to a recipe where I wrap chicken breasts in pastry dough.
I use Gold’s Cantonese duck sauce in my deli roll recipe. Just mix equal amounts of mayo, mustard, and duck sauce, spread on puff pastry dough and deli and on top after it’s rolled. The duck sauce adds a nice sweetness to balance out the mustard.
