It seems to be so simple and easy, but how to cook a whole duck in the oven? This is a great question! Here is a simple step-by-step guide to help you cook a whole duck in the oven. You will love how delicious the duck meat is.
Make the Sauce
While roasting a duck in the oven is an attractive option, it is not quite as simple as it seems. If you are new to roasting, it is a good idea to first practice on a chicken. You can then fine tune the recipe and effort with a whole duck. Roasting a whole duck requires four to five hours, and there are a number of steps you will need to complete. You will first need to choose a whole duck and dry it. Remove the giblets and cut off the loose skin from around the neck and underneath the wings. Remove the head, neck and feet. Make sure to reserve the neck for stock. For a dry duck, you can place the duck upside down on a wire rack and dry for 24 hours. For a fresh duck, you should place the duck on a rack in a cold room, and dry it for 24 to 48 hours.
Baste it
Take your duck out of the oven, baste it and put it back in. The seasonings and heat from the oven will tenderize the meat. Then, put your pan back into the oven for about 15 minutes, or until your internal temperature is 160°F.
Boiling the Duck
The trick to cooking a whole duck in the oven is to boil the duck. To do this, place the duck in a large pot with enough water to cover the duck. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and turn off the heat. Cook the duck in this way for 1 hour.
Peel the Skin
I’ve been looking for a good YouTube tutorial on how to cook a whole duck in the oven, but have yet to find any. The reason I want to do it is because I would like to cook a whole duck for my daughters birthday, but need a tutorial on how to do it so I don’t make a mistake. I’ve searched for videos and have only found instructions for carving it. Does anyone have any good videos or other recommendations?
Make A Plan
Preheat oven to 350 F. Rub the duck with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan. Place in oven and cook for 1 hour, or until golden. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes. Turn the duck over and cook for another 30 minutes, or until the meat is fall apart. Remove from oven and let sit for another 15 minutes.
