Oh my goodness!! This duck is absolutely fantastic! I marinated a whole duck for about 24 hours and then threw it in the rotisserie so I can't comment on the cooking time but the flavor in the duck as well as the sauce is amazing. I will most definitely be making this again. Thanks for posting this keeper!
