A whole roasted duck doesn't have to be fussy. With just a few hours' roasting and hardly any work at all, you can have a juicy bird with crisp skin. Serve it with pan juice roasted Brussels sprouts or some seasonal salad for a festive occasion or Sunday dinner.
The Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival officially begins on February 5th, 2019 and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family peace, joy and love this holiday!

- Preheat oven to 220C/430F. Wash the duck inside and out with cold running water. Pat dry all over with paper towel.
- Rub the duck all over with the sea salt and freshly milled pepper. Fill the duck cavity with thyme and quartered lemon. Prick skin all over with a sharp fork and tie legs together -- be sure to not pierce the meat itself, only the skin. This lets the fat render out and will help crisp the skin.
- Place a wire rack in a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with 1 cup of water. Place the duck on the wire rack, breast-side down. Roast in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Lower the temperature to 190C/375F. Turn the duck breast-side up and fill the roasting pan with another cup of water. Continue cooking for a further 60-70 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Brush the duck occasionally with dripping from the roasting pan. 20 minutes before the duck is done, add the Brussels sprouts into the roasting pan and toss with the duck dripping and cook until tender.
- Remove duck and Brussels sprouts on a large serving plate. Cover with a tin foil to keep warm.
- Scrape the duck fat and juice from the roasting pan and pour into a pan. Add in spelt flour and stir with a wooden spoon until slightly thickened. Add in chicken broth and port. Bring the gravy to the boil and simmer gently for half an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Shred or carve up the duck, and serve with roasted Brussels sprouts and gravy.

Angie, this looks delicious! I haven't made duck at home, but your method looks very easy and approachable. Such a beautifully crisped skin!
ReplyDeleteOh this takes me back to China and Peking duck. I was there during the 2nd week of the Spring Festival. Xīnnián kuàilè
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious, Angie! I love duck and have made simplified confit legs but have never tried roasting a whole duck. Can't wait to try your recipe!
ReplyDeleteRoast duck is SO good! It's been years since I've roasted en entire duck (I'm more likely to do just the breasts on the stovetop). This looks delish -- perfect for Chinese New Year. Or any old time. :-) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely meal! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThe duck looks perfect. I still have a farmer's duck in my freezer, bought it for Christmas but realized it was too small for 5 adults and 2 kids. This recipe would be perfect for it! I wish you all the best for the Chinese New Year.
ReplyDeletelooks very delicious
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is just too good! This crispy skin looks amazing☺
ReplyDeleteI have only roasted duck once before at home and this recipe has me wanting to make it again!
ReplyDeleteOh lovely that does look good. A very plump little Duck you have there. happy New Year
ReplyDeleteWow, Angie, I've never made duck at home and this looks like something I'd eat in a restaurant! Fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteWhen I have seen the ingredients, I fell in love with the dish. Keeper, dear Angie !
ReplyDeleteYou are after my heart with this one. I love, love, love a crispy skin duck!! I could just reach in there and pick that skin off :). A gorgeous meal Angie! Of course now you have me craving duck.
ReplyDeleteYou make roasting duck sound so easy. Looks so deliciously roasted :)
ReplyDeleteAngie, wishing you Happy Chinese New Year 新年快乐，万事如意
I am quickly becoming a huge fan of duck! This sounds like a winner!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love it if I made him a whole roasted duck! ( of course I won't because I am a vegetarian) he loves duck!!! Looks great
ReplyDeleteI often order duck in restaurants because I love it so much -- but, I rarely have made it at home, and it has been way too long. This has inspired me to do it soon. Your recipe looks and sounds so flavorful and delicious. Wishing you a very happy new year full of peace, joy and love to you too!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I was a fan of duck until recently when I had it at a place near me called Duck Duck Goat. It was AMAZING! And yours looks just like it: crispy and succulent.
ReplyDeleteDelicious roasted duck! I love roast duck but no roast duck for us this CNY. Maybe I should try roasting duck, ordering from outside can be very expensive. Happy Chinese New Year to you and family!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful and delicious Angie, many years I dont eat duck (when I was a child yes ) but this looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteHappy chinese New Year!!!
Wow! It looks perfectly cooked and so delicious.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you Angie and wishing you and your family all good things in the coming year.
ReplyDeleteThis duck looks incredible. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve yet to make duck but love it. I would love to try this recipe. Honestly for years I was told it’s such a laborious process to drain the fat that I just never attempted it. Yet I try so many recipes way more challenging. I will definitely give this a try. I may be emailing you. Thanks for sharing this!
My little one has been demanding I make duck for him. Should give this a try. Hope you have a nice week Angie
ReplyDeleteI only made duck once, and it came out sooooo good! Making me want to try this! - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeleteRoasted duck is one of those things I love and definitely don't make (or eat) enough! This is just golden brown perfection!!! Drooling over here!
ReplyDeleteça a l'air délicieux une peau vraiment croustillante

ReplyDeleteThis is delightful! I love your suggestion to prick the skin all over as a crisp duck skin with moist duck meat is the best dish ever. Happy Chinese New Year!
ReplyDeleteDear Angie, This looks wonderful. My dad loved duck and it was what he would always order if we went out to eat. Yours looks delicious! xoxo Catherine

ReplyDeleteI will tell you a funny story! When I studied in the States I went to a Chinese restaurant and ordered Peking duck. They brought me the whole duck! I took the leftovers home and ate duck for three days haha! This one looks very very crispy!
