Chinese-Style Barbecued Duck
- 1 4-pound duck
- 1/4 cup hoisin
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 18 teaspoon hot chili oil
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- Prick the skin of the duck all over with a fork, particularly around the breast.
- Combine the hoisin, soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, chili oil, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Simmer slowly for 5 minutes.
- Place the duck in a shallow dish, add half of the hoisin mixture and turn to coat well.
- Marinate several hours or overnight, turning the duck frequently.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the duck on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.
- Discard the marinade from the duck.
- Roast for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and prick the duck again.
- Continue roasting, uncovered, until the juices run slightly pink when pricked in the thickest part of the thigh, about 30 minutes longer.
- Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Stir the orange juice into the remaining hoisin mixture.
- Carve the duck and serve, passing the sauce for dipping.
