Cooking Instructions

1 minute
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325° F

  2. 2

    Marinade duck overnight in heavily salted water.

  3. 3

    After marinading, take duck out & rinse all the salt water off. Be sure to remove the neck & giblets from the inner cavity.

  4. 4

    Pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper & garlic powder if desired.

  5. 5

    Prepare stuffing/ using oven toasted chunks of ur favourite bread (I use italian) break into chunks.

  6. 6

    Combine bread, onion, butter, grated orange peel, & orange juice (I also add a generous amount of sage, cuz I like traditional taste of stuffing); mix together well

  7. 7

    Stuff duck with mixture, packing lightly. With skewers or poultry pins fasten neck skin to back & close body opening over the stuffing lacing togetger tightly with cotton butchers twine

  8. 8

    Place duck breast side up in a shallow roasting pan fitted with a rack. No basting is necessary

  9. 9

    Roast for 2& 3/4 to 3 hours or until a thermometer inserted into breast reads about 150° F (thats for a still rosey medium rare) internal temperature of 180° F would be well, inserted into the thigh

  10. 10

    Remove duck from oven & allow the meat to REST BEFORE CARVING, for at least 20 minutes allowing the juices to circulate through the meat. If u carve right away all the juices will run out...

  11. 11

    Pút duck on a serving platter & pour some of the orange sauce over ít

  12. 12

    Halve the duck lengthwise & crosswise using kitchen shears & a sharp knife. Garnish with orange half cartwheels. Serve with the rest of the orange sauce.

  13. 13

  14. 14
