Roast Duck L'Orange

Recipe #48561 | 2½ hours | 25 min prep | add private note

By: Quinn Horn
Dec 12, 2002

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!

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

For the duck

Orange Sauce

Directions

  1. 1
    Sprinkle chili powder, garlic powder, and salt all over ducks.
  2. 2
    Cut 1-inch slice in skin of ducks on both sides of breasts.
  3. 3
    Puree garlic, sage and olive oil and fill in slices in skin with mixture.
  4. 4
    Chop apple into 1-inch pieces and stuff inside ducks.
  5. 5
    Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 1 hour 30 minutes for a slightly rare duck, or 2 hours for a well done duck.
  6. 6
    Put the ingredients for the L'Orange sauce in saucepan and heat until alcohol simmers off, about 6 minutes.
  7. 7
    Serve L'Orange sauce over sliced duck breasts or other parts.
  8. 8
    Makes about 1 cup.

I had never had duck before and was warned that I probably wouldn't like it as it is a darker meat bird. Turkey breast being my favorite. It was wonderful and I will be doing it again.

    this was really easy to make, and delicious. It was the first duck I ever cooked and it turned out really good. The orange sauce and the chili powder/garlic powder/salt combo goes good on chicken too.

    Outstanding. Really, really delicious. We poured some boiling water on the duck before seasoning to shrink some of the fat. Otherwise followed recipe and turned out perfect.

    Good recipe and the results were delicious! There could be more details in the recipe, such as the size of the duck (I used a 6.5 pound) and how many slices to make in the breasts (I did one in each). I changed the order of the steps; I stuffed in the apples, then sliced and filled (I spread the extra on the skin), and then sprinkled with spices.
