A classic French dish featuring a whole roasted duck with a vibrant, citrus-herb infused orange sauce. This recipe offers a delightful balance of savory duck and bright, tangy orange flavors, perfect for an elegant meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole Duck
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 cup Fresh Orange Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Orange Zest
  • 1/2 cup White Wine
  • 2 tablespoons Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Aromatic Herbs (thyme, rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Generously season the whole duck with salt and pepper. Place it breast side up in a roasting pan.
  3. Slide the duck into the preheated oven and roast for about 1.5 hours, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. While the duck is roasting, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, combine the white wine, vinegar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest. Stir well.
  5. Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, allowing it to reduce until it thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
  6. Once your duck is roasted, carve it tableside. Drizzle the herb-infused sauce generously over the duck before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with roasted vegetables to balance the dish’s richness.
  • For extra crispy skin, ensure the duck is patted dry before seasoning and avoid covering it during cooking.
  • Adjust sauce tanginess with a pinch of sugar if needed.
