Whole baked juicy duck in foil in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a juicy duck in foil? Prepare your food. I have a duck carcass weighing 2.5 kg. Wash the bird thoroughly and dry it with paper towels. Take white onions, regular mustard. Before use, you can tar the bird to remove feathers and hairs.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the marinade. To do this, mix honey, mustard, and soy sauce in a deep bowl. Add pepper and salt to taste, as soy sauce itself is quite salty. Taste the marinade while cooking so as not to overdo it with ingredients. Vary the degree of saltiness and sweetness to suit your tastes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the prepared carcass in a bowl with the marinade and rub thoroughly inside and out. Cover the bowl with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 5 hours, let the duck marinate well.

4. STEP 4

   

   Before baking, turn on the oven to preheat at 150 degrees. Peel and cut the onion into half rings.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the baking sheet in which we will bake with two layers of foil and place the marinated duck on top.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stuff the bird carcass with onions, it will make the duck meat even more tender.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wrap the duck well in foil. Place the pan in a preheated oven for 1-3 hours. Attention! Focus on your oven! Be careful not to burn the meat. Be sure to check it periodically. You can also unwrap the foil, especially if you are cooking for the first time. Different ovens bake a duck from one to three hours.

8. STEP 8

   

   It took me 3 hours. After 3 hours (for you it may be 1 hour!) Remove the baking sheet and, very carefully, so as not to burn yourself, cut the foil on top. Place the pan in the oven for another 15 minutes until the bird browns on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   Our duck is ready, the aroma is amazing! We throw out the onion from the belly, it fulfilled its role and made the meat very tender. Place the bird on a beautiful platter, garnish with fresh vegetables and bon appetit!

10. STEP 10

    

    Invite your family and friends to the table!

For a feast with my relatives, I was given the task of roasting a duck. After looking through the recipes on our website, I chose a whole roasted juicy duck in foil in the oven. I had a pet not very young drake weighing more than three kilograms. I marinated it for almost two days in a bag, turning it over periodically. The main thing is to coat the inside of the carcass well with marinade. Before baking, I put five small onions inside, cut in half. Next I put in a bunch of parsley and dill. I put my favorite garlic arrows on top). In general, it is believed that you need to bake for 1 hour per 1 kg. duck weight. I did this in two stages. First I kept it in the oven for two hours. Then I removed the onions and herbs. In the inside of the duck I placed three sour, hard apples, cut into quarters, and a handful of prunes. Wrap it in foil again and bake for another hour. I was satisfied with the degree of browning, so I didn’t keep it without foil. At this temperature, the duck literally languishes in its own juice. After all the manipulations, the duck meat turned out so soft and juicy that it simply melts in your mouth! The seeds come off easily. The taste and aroma are beyond praise! Domestic ducks are usually tough when roasted, but following this recipe I created a masterpiece that was appreciated by all my family. I recommend!

After 2.5 hours of frying, the duck was burned! To the smart guys in the comments. Inexperienced cooks, like me, go online for recipes. I trusted the text: “3 hours 15 minutes, you can check without turning around, focusing on the smell.” In my case, the smell appeared when it was already too late.
