Ingredients

Duck

  • 1 pc whole duck(about 2-6lb, cleaned)
  • 2 1/8 qt boiling water

Marinade & Glaze

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp five-spice powder
  • 1 tsp salt(for rubbing)
  • 3 tbsp ginger(grated)
  • 3 tbsp garlic(minced)

Accompaniments

  • 5 pcs scallions(cut into thin strips)
  • 12 pcs pancakes(thin Chinese pancakes, steamed)
  • hoisin sauce(for serving)

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Rinse the duck inside and out and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Place the duck on a rack over a large sink. Pour boiling water all over the duck's skin. This step is crucial for crispy skin. Let it drip dry for 5 minutes.
  3. Mix honey, soy sauce, five-spice powder, salt, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a bowl to create the glaze.
  4. Rub the glaze all over the duck, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or preferably in the refrigerator overnight.
  5. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Roasting

  1. Place the marinated duck on a roasting rack in a baking pan, breast-side up.
  2. Roast for 90 minutes, or until the duck is golden brown and cooked through. Baste with any accumulated pan juices every 20-30 minutes.
  3. If the skin starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the duck with aluminum foil.
  4. Once cooked, remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Serving

  1. Carve the duck into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Serve the duck slices with steamed scallion pancakes, strips of scallions, and hoisin sauce. Allow guests to assemble their own wraps.

Tips

  • For extra crispy skin, ensure the duck is thoroughly dried after the boiling water treatment.
  • Monitor the duck's temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 74°C (165°F) in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • Warm the Chinese pancakes slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor experience.
