Let's Get Started
- Clean the duck and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the duck with salt and five-spice powder, inside and out.
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and Chinese cooking wine. Brush this mixture all over the duck.
- Stuff the duck with the ginger and green onions. Let the duck marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, flip the duck over and roast for another hour, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through.
- Let the duck rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
