How to cook a whole aged duck
Our whole duck from Great Ocean Road Ducks has been glazed with Marionette cassis, star anise, Shaoxing wine and Chinese five-spice, then aged for a week in our Meatsmith duck room. Each duck comes with an extra jar of glaze to add another layer before roasting it at home. The leftovers are perfect on spring onion pancakes.
Ingredients
A jar of duck glaze
Method
Preheat the oven to 160C.
Unwrap the duck, place it into a roasting dish and rub with olive oil and salt.
Roast the duck for 45 minutes, basting the duck with its juices every 15 minutes. The duck will be cooked when the internal temperature reaches 52C.
Remove the duck from the oven and rest for a minimum of 15 minutes
