Inebriated Duck

1. 1

   Thaw, rinse, and remove giblets from duck.

2. 2

   Put duck breast-side-down into as small and cramped a baking dish as possible to ensure complete immersion in its own fatty juices as it cooks.

3. 3

   Drizzle vodka and triple sec over the duck, slather on ginger garlic paste.

4. 4

   Open can of mandarin oranges and discard syrup, place orange slices on top of the paste, sprinkle salt on top of it all.

5. 5

   Cover with aluminum foil and place into non-pre-heated oven, put a dripping pan below as some drippings will overflow out if done correctly.

6. 6

   Bake at as low a temperature as possible (at least 175F) for an hour.

7. 7

   Increase to 300F and cook for an additional two hours.

8. 8

   Serve bird on a deep platter of appropriate length and width, drizzle orange sauce over the entire duck.

9. 9

   Serves two.
