I roasted this on a vertical chicken roaster upside down in a roaster to get all the yummy duck fat drip off, and it can be used to cook duck fat potatoes or confit.

Ingredients

  • DUCK
  • 1 - whole duck
  • 5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • GLAZE
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

How To Make glazed roasted duck

  • Step 1
    Dry the duck and score over all the skin. Mix the salt, baking powder and pepper together and rub over the whole duck inside and out. Set in fridge covered with plastic wrap and let sit overnight.
  • Step 2
    Remove the duck and let it sit on the counter for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Position the duck upside down on a vertical chicken roaster. Place in the oven and let roast for 2 hours.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, make the glaze. Mix the corn starch and water and set aside. Mix the remaining ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and add the corn starch mixture, and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Step 4
    After 2 hours, remove the duck from the oven and pour the fat from the roaster out into a metal bowl. Let cool and store in the fridge to use for cooking or discard.
  • Step 5
    Raise the oven to 425 degrees. Brush the glaze over the whole duck and place it back into the roasting pan. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water around the roaster.
  • Step 6
    Roast for 30 minutes, then brush the glaze on the duck and roast another 30 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Remove the duck to a carving board to rest. Mix the remaining glaze with the drippings in the roaster and serve as a sauce with the duck.
