do you know how much I should use?

It's not the same. Get real ginger in a big supermarket (cold produce section) or a health food store. You can get a tiny knob for your purpose, peel it and chop in a blender or food processor. Or, get a larger piece, chop, use what you need for the sauce and freeze the rest to use year-round, which is what I do - I always have frozen chopped ginger in the freezer.

Not the same, but if that's all you have I would definitely still use it.
Just sprinkle some in, and taste.

OP: once the sauce has thickened, how long should it then bake/cook on the chicken? The whole time? My chicken is already in the oven for 1 1/2 hours so I'm wondering if I should prepare the sauce still for this chicken or reserve this for the 2nd days for the Fri night chicken.

I cooked the chicken with the duck sauce the whole time. It browned nicely like regular duck sauce.

ra-mom would love to try this recipe. How did you cook the chicken? Also do you think I can add potatoes so I can have a one pot supper?

Cook the chicken the way you usually do. You can do 350 covered for 1-1 1/2 hours and then uncovered for half hour.
And you can definitely add potatoes. If you place them underneath the chicken it will take longer to cook, if you use a big enough pan and place the potatoes on the sides of the chicken/everything in one even layer, you can bake for around the same amount of time. Sweet potatoes are nice with duck sauce chicken. Or two colors of potatoes.

All of the above.
Not for serving cold. Warm with the sauce. And if you can, pour sauce on top and brown in the oven.

While I don’t mind this sauce, I found that making a fruit jam out of plums, peaches or both. Is a more effective duck sauce option. And has multiple pesach uses…

Since the original duck sauce is made with fruit jam, vinegar, chili pepper, and ginger….I wish someone would help me figure out the substitution.

So I made peach/plum jam with lemon and sugar…
Then I can grate in some ginger….some more lemon juice…and maybe some peeled jalapeños pepper?

I use very limited ingredients…

How much chicken does the recipe cover? Two 9*13 pans?

Should I double the recipe if I want to keep it to make it more than once?
