editProcedure
editPreparation
edit- Mix all marinade ingredients together.
- Mix all glaze ingredients together.
- Brush the marinade mixture all over the duck, inside and outside.
- Brush some glaze mixture inside the duck cavity.
- Sit duck breast-up on a rack in an open container.
- Put in the refrigerator to chill overnight.
Cooking
edit- Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C)
- Put ½–1 inch (2.5 cm) of water in a roasting pan—this catches the grease that comes out from the duck while roasting and prevents it from smoking.
- Place green onions inside the duck cavity.
- Place the duck on a roasting rack in the roasting pan. Roast the duck for 15 minutes.
- Turn the duck breast-up, and roast for another 15 minutes.
- Turn oven heat to 375°F (190°C), and roast the duck until the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 180°F (test between the thigh, the thickest part of the duck/goose, being careful not to touch the bone)
- Brush the duck with glaze, turn oven up to 450°F (200°C), and roast again for about 10 minutes.
- Carve and serve!
