Cooking Tips

• Make sure to thoroughly dry the duck before stuffing and roasting to ensure crispy skin.
• If the skin is not browning enough, you can increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
• To check the internal temperature of the duck, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover duck can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the duck in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the duck with roasted vegetables, such as carrots and Brussels sprouts, and a side of mashed potatoes or wild rice.
