How to make oven roast duck

Most of the roast duck we eat outside is made in a large oven, and we can also make this delicacy at home, but how do we make roast duck in a home oven? The steps are the same. First, marinate the duck. If you want to make crispy roast duck, you can apply a layer of honey and white vinegar mixture on the duck. If the oven at home is not too big, you should buy a smaller duck, which is easier to roast.

How to make crispy roast duck in the oven

Crispy roast duck recipe:

1. Wash the duck carefully, boil a pot of water, and pour it on the duck skin until the skin of the whole duck shrinks. But be careful not to burn the duck skin;

2. The method of making crispy water is to mix appropriate amount of honey/maltose + white vinegar + water, mix honey, white vinegar and water in a ratio of 5:1:2, brush it on the duck, you can brush it several times to color it, and marinate it for 30 minutes to 2 hours;

3. Stuff the duck with spices (scallions, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, aniseed, bay leaves, peppercorns, etc.), cooking wine, soy sauce, salt, and sugar;

4. Air-dry the duck overnight, keeping the air circulating. The next day, the duck skin becomes dry and becomes crispy when roasted. After the duck is air-dried, use a brush to dip in crispy skin water and brush it evenly all over the duck, then wait for the skin to dry naturally again.

5. Before roasting, soak bread in water and stuff it into the duck's stomach to replenish moisture and keep the duck meat fresh and tender. Cut an apple into 4 pieces and put it into the duck's stomach to help open the skin and absorb the flavor.

6. Wrap the duck wings, especially the wing tips, with tin foil, otherwise they will burn (because the meat is thin and contains less oil);

Baking steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees;

2. Bake at 200 degrees hot air for 1 hour. Use a tray underneath to collect the oil. There is a rotating rack in the oven. It is best to use this rack for even baking. Remember to use a plate to catch the oil underneath.

3. Adjust to 230 degrees and bake for 20 minutes;

4. Take out the duck, turn it over and bake at 250 degrees for 5 minutes, until the duck skin turns dark red. Turn off the oven and you're done.

Note:

1. The duck needs to be marinated in advance. The longer it is marinated, the more flavorful it will be.

2. When marinating the duck, you can massage it thoroughly to allow the sauce to penetrate into the duck meat.

3. After brushing with crispy water, wait for the duck to dry naturally before baking, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure the crispiness of the duck skin.

4. Before putting the duck legs into the oven again, wrap them with tin foil to prevent them from burning.
