Ingredients:

  • 2 kg duck (mine were smaller than this, hence 2, i think this should be about right for 4 people.)
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 -2 tsp cornflour

Directions:

  1. Note: I never measure the basting sauce exactly, I think this should be about right, but do adjust for taste if I am a little off.
  2. Wash duck under cold water and remove any missed feathers.
  3. Combine all the basting ingredients and boil over a high heat for about 2 minutes. Keep sauce warm while basting, stirring occasionally.
  4. Place duck in a roasting dish, brush with basting sauce. Bake in a slow oven (130°C) for about three hours, bast several times while cooking. (I like to do this slow to stop the skin from burning.).
  5. Turn the oven up to 170-180 and continue to roast for a further 30-45 minutes until skin is browned and crisp and duck is cooked through.
  6. As the duck is finishing off, mix a little water with cornflour, turn up the heat on stove, add cornflour to basting sauce and stir until mixture thickens. (I say 1-2 teaspoons of cornflour, the amount will depend on how much of the sauce has been used during cooking and how much it has reduced by.).
  7. Serve Duck with basting sauce.
