Roast duck

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry a duck? Prepare the products according to the list. Thaw the duck in advance if necessary. Use whatever parts of the duck you like. I take a whole one and cut it into pieces. Wash the orange and scald it with boiling water; we will need both zest and juice from it.

2. STEP 2

   

   Dry the orange and grate the zest from it.

3. STEP 3

   

   Squeeze the juice from a whole orange into a deep bowl and add the grated zest.

4. STEP 4

   

   Chop the garlic with a knife, a garlic press, or grate it on a fine grater. Add chopped garlic to the orange mixture. Add soy sauce there too. Salt and pepper to taste. Add your favorite herbs and spices. Mix the resulting marinade well.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the duck and dry with paper towels. Cut the duck into portions.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the poultry pieces in a bowl with the marinade and coat each piece thoroughly. Cover the bowl with cling film and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 3-4 hours.

7. STEP 7

   

   In a heatproof frying pan (because we will put it in the oven later), heat the vegetable oil. Transfer the duck pieces to the pan. Make the heat higher than medium. We need the pieces to be fried with a crust. This will take about 6-10 minutes, but better keep an eye on the contents of the pan. After such a marinade, the meat already becomes soft and juicy. At first, do not leave the stove.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn the pieces over to the other side and fry well. Then reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Let the duck simmer on the fire for another 10-20 minutes. Meanwhile, turn on the oven at 180C. When the duck is cooked through, cover the pan with foil and place it in the oven for 10-20 minutes. Focus on your oven so as not to dry out the duck.

9. STEP 9

   

   The finished roast duck smells amazing. The meat is very tender. Orange and soy sauce complement each other perfectly. Garlic creates a delicious aroma. Everyone will be delighted. Serve roast duck well with fresh vegetables, and adults can also serve a glass of red wine.
