Ingredients
- One 4-6lb duck
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: hoisin sauce, to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Remove giblets and neck from duck cavity, and reserve for making stock. Cut off excess fat from duck cavity. Place duck on a rack in a deep roasting pan, breast-side up, and season with salt and pepper. Then slide the pan into the oven and cook, undisturbed, for 2 hours.
- Remove duck from oven, and use the point of a sharp knife to prick the skin of the bird, all over the breasts and thighs. Return the bird to the oven, and cook for 1 to 2 more hours, or until an meat thermometer inserted into the thigh measures around 300°F/ 155°C.
- Increase oven temperature to 450°F/ 232°C, and cook until the duck is golden and crisp, 15 to 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven, and transfer the duck to a cutting board.
- Let the fat in the pan cool, then store it, covered, in the refrigerator. It is excellent cooking fat. Allow the duck to rest for a few minutes, then shred it, using two forks to pull the meat apart. Add your favourite hoisin sauce, to taste.
- Serve and enjoy.
