Orange-Glazed Roast Duck

Orange-Glazed Roast Duck features crisp skin and succulent meat coated in a bright, citrus-forward glaze with hints of honeyed barbecue and teriyaki umami. The sweetness is balanced by a subtle tang, while mushrooms tucked inside add depth to the drippings. Serve this impressive centerpiece for holidays or a special Sunday dinner when you want rich flavor with a vibrant orange finish.

Orange-Glazed Roast Duck
  1. 1

    Combine the orange soda, orange juice concentrate, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and teriyaki sauce in a bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Trim any excess fat from inside the duckling, set the duck in a roasting pan, and prick the skin all over with a fork so the fat can drain during roasting.

  3. 3

    Brush the duckling with the orange mixture. Put the mushrooms into the duck cavity, and spoon in some of the orange sauce.

  4. 4

    Roast the duck in the preheated oven, brushing it every 20 to 30 minutes with the orange sauce, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thick part of a thigh reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 2 1/2 hours.
