Roast Duck L'Orange with Chutney

"I found this recipe on the internet and modified it slightly. This is the best roast duck recipe I have made so far. The combination of seasonings goes very well with the duck and the l'orange sauce. I used the skin, bones and drippings to make a soup base that was out-of-this-world good!"

  1. This was a great recipe. My duck was 5.5 lbs. and thawed, and it took about 2 hours to cook. I did double the sauce, as others suggested, and I let it thicken quite a bit, so it's a good thing I doubled it. I didn't have orange juice, so I substituted the orange sauce packet that came with my duck, and the sauce was delicious. Otherwise, other than putting a ton more garlic in, I followed the recipe exactly. I also brined the duck for about 2 hours before I cooked it, and the end result was a very moist inside and a crispy outside. It was great. Definitely an easy, tasty duck recipe. Thanks!
     
  2. Whoops! I hadn't realized I hadn't made a review! We made this for Thanksgiving. It was excellent. No changes were made at all. This is the 3rd time I've made duck for the holiday, and we didn't miss the boring turkey at all.. :) Thanks for a great duck recipe!
     
  3. great duck recipe , sauce is very tasty
     
  4. Excellent recipe,we use the left over duck drippings as the base for the yorkshire puddings. Also double the sauce recipe as it is so popular when you serve the duck!
     
  5. I was tired of the traditional turkey and ham thing for christmas,so I looked up duck recipes on the internet and I found this one. I made two ducks and one ham just in case... Both ducks were gone and I still had ham left over. It was fast and easy and very delicious! It will become my new tradition during the holidays!

Tweaks

  1. Marmalade instead of peach preserves. Yummy!
     
  2. I did not use exact measurements for some of the dry seasonings. I believe I used more chili powder and garlic powder. I didn't have fresh sage; I used dried sage and eyeballed it. I also did not have a granny smith apple, so I used a Fuji. Lastly, I did not utilize the sauce part of the recipe at all. My duck came with a packet of orange sauce which I simmer and added at the end.
