Ingredients

Duck

  • 1 whole duck (approximately 2 kg)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Glaze

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Rinse the duck inside and out under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, minced garlic, lemon zest, and olive oil to create a seasoning paste.
  • Rub the seasoning paste all over the duck, both inside and out.
  • Place the seasoned and trussed duck on a rack in a roasting pan, breast side up.
  • Roast the duck in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • Baste the duck with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
  • While the duck is roasting, make the glaze by mixing honey, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat it over low heat until it's well combined. Set aside.
  • During the last 20-30 minutes of roasting, brush the duck with the glaze every 10 minutes. This will give it a delicious, glossy finish.
  • Once the duck is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
  • Serve the roasted duck with your favorite side dishes.
    Enjoy your delicious roasted duck!
