Ingredients
1 whole duck (5-6 lbs)
2 large oranges, sliced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Step 2: Pat the duck dry with paper towels and remove any excess fat.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Rub this mixture all over the duck.
Step 4: Stuff the cavity of the duck with orange slices and crushed garlic.
Step 5: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe roasting pan over medium heat. Brown the duck on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Step 6: Pour chicken broth and white wine into the pan.
Step 7: Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 3 hours, basting every hour.
Step 8: Remove the foil and increase oven temperature to 375°F. Roast for an additional 30 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Step 9: Let the duck rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Storage
Allow the duck to cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating
Reheat slices of duck in the oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or use a microwave with a splash of broth to prevent drying.
