Duck can be cooked in a boiled, fried, stewed or baked form. The most important thing is to choose the right temperature and cooking time so that the finished dish is soft and juicy. If you decide to bake the whole duck, often fry the duck with water or stock during frying. Try to cook a duck baked with oranges - its taste will not leave you indifferent.

Instruction manual
1
Before baking the duck in the oven, the duck must be marinated. Cook the marinade. To do this, pour olive oil into a deep container (cup or plate), add one teaspoon of salt, spices and seasonings.
2
Grate half the cloves from a whole head of garlic on a fine grater. Add garlic to oil.
3
Mix thoroughly until smooth.
4
Cut the orange into four parts. Squeeze the juice directly into the marinade. Stir everything again and let it sit for ten minutes. The marinade is ready.
5
Proceed to pickle the duck. Wash the duck well inside and out, remove the insides. Next, wipe the duck with a paper towel. Wet duck can not be pickled, as the marinade will not be absorbed into it.
6
Put the duck in a large bag and coat the marinade on the outside and inside. The carcass of the bird should be completely covered with marinade.
7
Then wrap the duck in a bag and leave to marinate.
8
While the duck is pickling, you need to cook the filling.
9
Cut the giblets of a duck into small pieces.
10
Cut the remaining cloves of garlic into small pieces.
eleven
Wash the apples, peel, cut into four parts. Remove the core and cut the apples into 2 cm cubes and add to the chopped garlic and giblets. Add to them a teaspoon of chicken seasoning and a little red pepper. Mix all the filling well. The filling is ready.
12
Stuff the duck with the filling. The abdomen of a duck needs to be sewn with threads or fastened with toothpicks.
thirteen
Next, wrap the duck again in a bag with marinade and leave for three hours.
14
Then start cooking the duck in the oven. Put several layers of foil on a baking sheet, with the foil being longer than the size of the baking sheet.
fifteen
Cut the second orange into rings. Put five rings of orange on the foil. This is necessary so that the duck does not burn.
16
Put your duck on oranges. Cut off the crust from the rest of the orange rings and put it on top of the carcass.
17
Wrap the duck in foil. Make sure that the foil does not tear.
18
Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 220 degrees. Bake the duck at this temperature for about thirty minutes. Next, reduce the temperature to 150 degrees and bake another 2 - 2.5 hours. The baking time depends on the power of your oven, so adjust the time and temperature yourself.
19
After two hours, unfold the duck on top, and bake without foil. Every ten minutes, pour fat over the duck - then a crisp will form.
20
Put the finished duck on a large serving plate, decorate with greens. Serve baked potatoes in addition to the dish. Bon Appetit!
