Description
Roast duck is filled with spicy ginger, fresh mandarins and warm cinnamon, then glazed with a simple blend of hoisin and soy sauce.
Ingredients
1– 4.5-pound Duck
4 inches ginger, peeled and sliced
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4 soy sauce
2 TBL hoisin sauce
Instructions
Completely defrost the duck and bring to room temperature. Rinse the bird off under running water, then pat dry.
Score the breast fat in a diamond pattern without piercing the meat.
Place the ginger and cinnamon sticks inside of the duck.
Mix the hoisin and soy sauce together and brush over the duck, breast side up.
Place in a preheated 350° oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the duck from the oven, flip over and baste the backside.
Continue to cook for 45 minutes, then remove from the oven again, flip over and baste with the soy mixture. Repeat one more time.
Notes
*The total cook time will be 3 hours and the bird will finish cooking with the breast down.
