Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder, or more to taste

  • 1 (5 1/2 pound) whole duck

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 orange - zested, peeled, and cubed

  • 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries

  • 1 ounce brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Sprinkle Chinese five-spice powder inside the duck cavity. Add chopped onion and cubed orange.

  3. Combine cranberries, orange liqueur, honey, white sugar, and soy sauce in a saucepan. Cook and stir until glaze reaches a jam-like consistency, 7 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, about 3 minutes.

  4. Place duck on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan; baste with the glaze.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
