New Year's duck whole in the sleeve baked in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 14 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a whole duck in a sleeve in the oven? Prepare your food. Pre-defrost the duck by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. If possible, take sour varieties of apples.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the duck well and dry with paper towels. If there are feathers left on it, remove or burn them.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix salt and pepper and rub the duck thoroughly on all sides with this mixture.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare the marinade. How to make a marinade? Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a small bowl. To get more juice, wash the lemon, pour boiling water over it and roll it hard on the table.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then juice half the orange, remove the other half for now - it will be needed later.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add soy sauce to the juice.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then honey. Take natural honey, it is better if it is liquid, melt the candied honey a little in a water bath.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix all the ingredients well - the marinade is ready!

9. STEP 9

   

   Coat the duck with marinade - it is very convenient to marinate it in a duck pot. Leave for at least 5-6 hours, or even better, overnight, the marinade will make its meat very tender and completely eliminate the characteristic odor. During marinating, it is better to turn the duck every 1-2 hours so that the marinade evenly saturates the back and breast of the bird.

10. STEP 10

    

    When the duck is marinated, cut the other half of the orange into slices.

11. STEP 11

    

    Wash the apple, cut into slices and remove the core.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place sliced ​​apples and oranges in the belly; you don’t even need to sew it up - everything will stay in place

13. STEP 13

    

    Measure the sleeve to the required length, tie one edge and place the duck.

14. STEP 14

    

    If desired, cover it with potatoes - in my opinion this is very convenient: we solve the problem with the side dish, and potatoes soaked in aromatic duck juices turn out very tasty!

15. STEP 15

    

    Using a toothpick, make several punctures in the sleeve to allow air to escape. Bake the duck in the oven at 200 degrees for 1.5-2 hours depending on the size of the duck. My duck was ready in 1.5 hours.

16. STEP 16

    

    After the specified time, cut the sleeve. My duck was browned even in the sleeve, but if this did not happen for you, return the duck to the oven, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes.

17. STEP 17

    

    Our gorgeous holiday dish is ready!

    Bon appetit!

I liked the recipe because the side dish is ready right away. I usually just bake the duck with oranges and cook the side dish separately.

The New Year's duck baked whole in the sleeve in the oven turned out to be very tasty! An interesting composition of the marinade: a mixture of orange, lemon juice and soy sauce. I not only put the duck in the sauce, but also poured the sauce inside when turning the duck over during marinating. I used apple, orange and quince for stuffing fruits. An excellent solution for simultaneously cooking potatoes and stuffed duck! And the meat is ready, and the delicious side dish is ready! The potatoes turned out crispy, baked in duck juice. The duck meat is soft, juicy with the original aroma of orange! Thanks for the recipe!

The main thing is not to overcook the duck. And the recipe is good, in my opinion. Before, when we lived in the village, we often roasted ducks.

It is not shown how a 2-kilogram duck drowns in 0.5 bowls of marinade. My marinade in the duck looked like a small puddle under the back of the duck.
