Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 4-5 lbs) Whole duck
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha (or any hot sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove any innards from the duck cavity, rinse the duck under cold water, and pat it dry with paper towels.
Rub the entire surface of the duck, including the cavity, with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the duck and rub it in evenly.
Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan to catch the drippings. Prick the duck's skin all over with a fork to help render the fat as it cooks.
Roast the duck in the oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh and the skin is golden and crispy.
While the duck is roasting, prepare the spicy sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and cook for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry. Add this to the sauce, stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Once the duck is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Serve the roasted duck with the spicy sauce on the side or drizzled over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions.
