Steps

1

Preparation:
-Make sure duck is fully thawed.
-Clean out Giblets.
-Trim loose skin around neck of duck.
-Trim excess fat around main cavity.
-Rinse whole duck under cold water.
-Pierce JUST the skin of the duck, do not pierce the meat. (This helps with the skin getting crispy)
Preheat Oven or Grill to 350°F.
2

Quarter the onion and orange, then stuff the duck.
3

Season duck with freshly ground peppercorn, and salt.
4

Put the duck directly on your grill, or on a baking sheet if you're using the oven.
Cooking time should be approx. 2 1/2 - 3 hours. (Make sure the meat temp reads 160 degrees).
5

After 2 1/2 hours, sprinkle parsley on top of duck, and increase heat to 375 (this will help crisp the skin and also add color to the duck.)
6

After 30 minutes at 375, remove the duck and cover with a foil tent, and let stand for about 15 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!!
