Peking Duck

Ingredients - Serves 4

• Hoisin sauce - 1/2 cup
• Scallions - 4, thinly sliced
• Pancakes - 16
• Rice vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Chinese five-spice powder - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 2 tablespoons
• Whole duck - 1 (about 5-6 pounds)

Let's Get Started

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Clean the duck thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the salt and Chinese five-spice powder.
4. Rub the salt and spice mixture all over the duck, including the cavity.
5. Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan, breast side up.
6. Roast the duck in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. While the duck is roasting, prepare the glaze by combining honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.
8. After the duck has roasted for 1 hour, brush the glaze all over the duck. Repeat every 15 minutes until the duck is done.
9. Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
10. To serve, slice the duck into thin pieces. Serve with pancakes, sliced scallions, and hoisin sauce.
