Deliciously Unique Glazed Roast Duck with Oriental Mix Sauce

What makes this recipe exceptional is the combination of boldly flavored sauce—blending sweet, savory, and tangy elements—with the rich, succulent duck. The glaze caramelizes in the oven, infusing the duck with layers of umami and a beautiful sheen. Every bite delivers crispiness, juiciness, and a punch of complex flavor that elevates traditional roast duck into something extraordinary.

Preparing the Signature Oriental Mix Sauce

The secret to this dish is its versatile oriental-style sauce. You’ll combine hoisin, soy, honey, fresh ginger, garlic, and a dash of rice vinegar to create a balanced glaze. Brush the sauce onto the duck during the last portion of roasting to achieve a lacquered effect and deep flavor. Allow the sauce to simmer before using for maximum aromatic intensity—your kitchen will smell incredible!

How to Roast the Perfect Duck

Start by patting the duck dry and pricking the skin to help render the fat and ensure ultra-crispy skin. Lightly season and roast, then add your oriental mix glaze in the final 30 minutes. This approach keeps the duck juicy while guaranteeing irresistibly crispy, flavorful skin.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove giblets from inside the duck, if present. Pat duck dry with paper towels. Prick duck skin all over with a fork or skewer—but avoid piercing the meat.
2. Rub the outside and inside of the duck with salt, black pepper, and five-spice powder.
3. Place duck on a rack in a large roasting pan. Roast for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C). Continue roasting for 1 hour, draining excess fat every 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the Oriental mix sauce. Combine hoisin, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3–5 minutes until aromatic. Whisk in cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water if you want a thicker glaze. Set aside.
5. After the duck has roasted for 1 hour, brush generously all over with the prepared sauce. Return to oven and roast for an additional 25–35 minutes, basting with more glaze every 10 minutes until the skin is shiny, deep golden, and crisp.
6. Let the duck rest for 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve extra glaze on the side for dipping.
