Easy Orange Glaze Duck image

My husband told me his grandmother made something similar to this, so I made up a recipe and it turned out delicious! Now it is a favorite at holiday meals and whenever we can find ducks. Makes enough for 1 or 2 ducks. If you want, marinate the duck the night before in the mixture. It makes it a little more tender.

Time 2h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle orange soda
1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
½ (18 ounce) bottle honey barbecue sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup bottled teriyaki sauce
1 (5 pound) whole frozen duckling, thawed
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

Steps:

  • Pour the orange soda, orange juice concentrate, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and teriyaki sauce into a bowl, and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove any excess pieces of fat from inside the duckling, place the duck into a roasting pan, and prick the skin all over with a fork to allow the fat to drain off while roasting.
  • Brush the duckling with the orange mixture. Place the mushrooms into the cavity of the duck, and spoon in some of the orange sauce.
  • Roast the duck in the preheated oven, brushing it every 20 to 30 minutes with the orange sauce, until a meat thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 2 1/2 hours.
