How To Make crispy skin roasted duck
-
Step 1Mix the sugar, salt, and 5 spice powder together and rub all over the skin of the duck.
-
Step 2Mix the hoisin sauce, ginger, and garlic together. Rub the inside of the duck with the mixture.
-
Step 3Set a wine bottle in a baking dish, and stand the duck upright on the wine bottle, and set it in the fridge. Let it sit in the fridge for 3 days until the skin is dry.
-
Step 4Carefully run your fingers under the skin of the duck to separate the skin from the meat.
-
Step 5Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Take the honey and rub it all over the duck. Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock into the bottom of the baking pan.
-
Step 6Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Turn the pan and roast another 30 minutes. If the skin gets too dark, tent with foil.
-
Step 7Remove the duck from the oven and wrap it in foil, and let it rest 20 minutes. Strain the juices from the pan and put them through a degreaser.
-
Step 8Bring the drippings to a boil and let them reduce for 10 minutes. If still too thin, make a slurry of corn starch and water to thicken.
-
Step 9Unwrap the duck and remove the crispy skin, and set it aside. Carve the meat and place it on a serving plate.
-
Step 10Drizzle the sauce over the meat, and then chop the crispy skin and serve with the duck.
