I suspect the "hunan" chicken is again, a general term and I'm sure recipes vary from restaurant to restaurant and from chef to chef. In fact I googled it and could not find any two alike. Even dishes that have a somewhat more clearly defined recipe can vary from chef to chef. For example, I love beef chow mein but every place I have it has a slightly different spin.

Can you tell me what sauce is used for Mandarin Chicken and also Sesame Chicken? Or can provide recipes? <em>Hi Michael, I'm not sure but will do some research and see if I can come up with some recipes. Right now I have a whole bunch of requests I'm working on as well as my own stuff but I too would like to know how to make a great sesame chicken. - RG</em> Thank’s for clearing that up.

I googled hunan sauce and came across a number of different recipes. Hunan sauce however, is not duck sauce, which is a plum sauce. But since the term "hunan sauce" is used rather liberally, I wouldn't be surprised if there are duck sauces, or duck-type sauces out there that have been referred to as hunan sauce.
