Ingredients

  • 1 whole duck (5–6 lb), cleaned and giblets removed

  • 1 tbsp salt

  • 1 tbsp white vinegar

  • 2 tbsp honey or maltose

  • 1 cup hot water

  • 1 tbsp five-spice powder

  • 4 slices ginger

  • 2 scallions, cut into sections

Directions

  1. Pat the duck completely dry inside and out. Rub salt evenly over the skin and cavity.
  2. Mix honey (or maltose) with hot water until dissolved. Brush evenly over the duck skin.
  3. Place the duck uncovered on a rack and refrigerate overnight to dry the skin.
  4. Preheat the Aroma Roaster Oven to 350°F. Stuff the cavity with ginger and scallions.
  5. Place the duck breast-side up on the rack in the roaster oven. Roast uncovered for 1½ hours, turning once halfway.
  6. Increase temperature to 425°F and roast another 30–45 minutes until the skin is deep golden and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10–15 minutes before carving.
