Directions
Crisp Roast Duck, From Gourmet Magazine. Serve with Plum Applesauce., I had some spicy dry rub from Wildtree, so I mixed that with the salt and pepper along with a little white sugar, and a little cinnamon and used that as my seasoning rub I just sprinkled it on otherwise I followed the directions and it was delicious! I was my first time making duck, and I am so glad it turned out well! A few parts were hard to cut through the skin, but I wasn’t sure how much my duck weighed, so I may have over cooked it just a little, but all in all the skin was crisp with a delicious flavor, the meat was moist and delicious, and it was EASY which was what I was looking for. :, Simple and delicious! The skin was crispy and tasty, and the duck was done in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. This recipe is so basic that one could pair just about any kind of sauce or gravy to go with the duck, which makes it versatile as well. This will be my go-to recipe for the ducks in my freezer.
