2 tbsp

30 mL
2 tsp

10 mL
3/4 cup
orange juice
175 mL
3/4 cup
chicken stock
175 mL
1/4 cup
lemon juice
60 mL
1 tbsp
soy sauce
15mL
2 oz

1/4 cup/60 mL
2 tbsp

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Prick every inch or so (2.5 cm) of the duck skin with a fork or tip of a sharp knife (this helps fat to render and results in crisper skin). Tie the legs together; fold and tuck the wings under the body. Season with salt and pepper. Place breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with hot water to just below the duck. Cover duck with foil. Roast 1 hr 30 min.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the glaze by mixing the thawed orange juice concentrate and vinegar. After the duck has roasted 1 hr 30 min., reduce oven temperature to 160°C (325°F). Uncover duck and brush with about half the glaze. Roast 10 minutes more, then brush with remaining glaze. Roast additional 10 to 15 min., or until skin is crispy.

Step 3

Also, while duck is roasting, make the orange sauce. Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Slowly and carefully, watching for splatters, whisk in zest, orange juice, chicken stock, lemon juice, soy sauce and brandy. Bring to a simmer and reduce by one-third. Mix cornstarch with 3 tbsp (45 mL) cold water until smooth. Whisk into sauce; cook until thickened. Keep sauce warm.

Step 4

Rest duck 10 min. before carving. Garnish platter with orange slices and parsley, if desired. Serve orange sauce alongside.
