This really turns plain-old-chicken into something interesting. I’ve doubled this recipe and it works just as well. Goes great with some Basmati rice and a green salad. Prep time includes marinating the chickens. Use matzoh meal instead of breadcrumbs and this is perfect for Passover.
Very rich. Sorry I can’t give proper estimates…I was shown the recipe by an old lady and since Chinese don’t use exact measurements, she didn’t write any for me! I’d guess at saying between 1/2-1 cup of oil is needed, but pour it out very slowly so that you don’t pour out too much. Also, don’t use olive oil, it makes the cookies too rich, so use canola or vegetable oil.

Adapted from an old Craig Claiborne recipe I like very much. Cooking time is very approximate and may go longer than stated (the original recipe indicated only about 1 hour but I have not found it to be done in that time when using the size of duck indicated). Preparation time does not include letting duck dry overnight.
The sauce from this is wonderful and can be doubled if desired, it can also be made ahead of time… this is a great recipe for pork chops. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water, then add to sauce.
