Instructions
Score the duck with a sharp knife being careful not to go beyond the skin this is to take out the fat while it is cooking. Puncture with a sharp knife any fat deposits.
- In a mixing bowl add all ingredients from Marinated Sauce
- Wash and clean Duck very well Take out any organs from inside including the neck.
- Marinate the Duck in a large bowl with marinade mixture for several hours be sure to flip the duck several times. I marinate overnight flipping the duck several times.
Roasting Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 325 degrees
- Place the duck on a rack in your Roasting Pan
- Roast the Duck Breast side up for 1 hour
- Flip the Duck to Back for 1 hour I use two wooden spoons inserted into each cavity to flip the duck.
- Flip the Duck back to Breast side up for 1 hour again using the wooden spoons.
- Last 20- 30 minutes turn heat up to 400 degrees to make the skin crisp checking after 20 minutes to make sure it won't burn.
- Take the Duck out of the oven and let it rest 15 minutes before carving.
Notes
This is what your Duck will look like after slicing and placing it on your platter. I took out most of the fat and used the drippings to make a reduction sauce. We used Port wine for the reductions sauce and it was amazing
