Ingredients - Serves 4

Let's Get Started

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the duck with salt and pepper, then place in a roasting pan.
  3. Roast the duck in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the skin is brown and crispy.
  4. While the duck is roasting, zest and juice two of the oranges.
  5. In a saucepan, combine the orange zest, juice, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the sauce is reduced by half.
  6. Add the chicken broth and orange liqueur to the saucepan, then bring back to a boil.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry, then whisk this into the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens.
  8. When the duck is fully roasted, let it rest for a few minutes, then carve it.
  9. Serve the duck with the sauce and garnish with slices from the remaining orange.
