A Simplified Peking Duck

1. 1

3. 3

   Remove and pat dry.

4. 4

   Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring just to the boil.

5. 5

   Off heat, allow mixture to cool to room temperature.

6. 6

   Liberally coat the duck with the mixture and let it sit at room temperature for 3 hours so that the coating dries out.

7. 7

   Place duck on a rack, breast side up in a preheated 350F (180C) oven for 2- 2 1/2 hours.

8. 8

   Roast until skin is crisp and brown.

9. 9
