halal roast duck — Steps of drying roast duck

【Day 1 Duck Thawing】

I was worried that it was not fresh due to the warm weather, so I put it from the freezer in the refrigerator

【Day 2 Dried Duck】

It is said that Americans do not eat internal organs, but the ducks processed by Costco actually have internal organs, so when making roast duck, you must clean the internal organs. After scalding it in boiling water three times, use chopsticks to open its wings, and place it by the window to air dry for at least 5 hours in the posture of a "big duck spreading its wings" as seen below for 8 hours.

【Day 3 Apply Crispy Sauce】

Two spoons of honey, two spoons of water, and one spoon of white vinegar are the crispy juice. Apply three times with the crispy juice, and wait until it is completely air-dried after each application before applying the next time. After that, I put apples and oranges into the duck's stomach. I put half an apple and half an orange, depending on the size of the duck, and finally stuffed its butt with steamed buns soaked in water. Tip: The steamed buns here should not be soaked in too much water. I soaked the steamed buns according to the recipe, but the fragile steamed buns fell apart during the baking process.

【Baking】

Finally, it can be baked. The end of the duck leg and the tip of the wing are wrapped in tinfoil because these two parts are easy to dry and can't be eaten. Put some more water in the roasting pan to prevent the roast duck from evaporating too much water and drying out the meat. The recipe says that the oven is preheated at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and then adjusted to 350 degrees, put the duck in and bake for 40 minutes, turn over and bake for 20 minutes, and then turn over and bake for 20 minutes. This time number is too rigid and should be adjusted according to the size of the duck. The roasted duck was undercooked. Then directly to 400 degrees, and bake for 40 minutes.
