Oven Ready Duckling

4-6 Portions (depending on size of the bird)
Cooking Time 55mins per Kg.

Ingredients
1 Whole Fresh Silver Hill Oven Ready Duckling
Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Preparing the Duck:

  1. Remove all outer packaging and discard. Remove the giblets from the cavity (these may be used later to enhance the flavour of your gravy)
  2. Place the duckling on a wire rack in a deep roasting tray
  3. Lightly season the skin with sea salt and black pepper

Cooking the Duck:

  1. Pre heat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/Gas 6
  2. Once temperature is reached place the duckling in the oven and roast. Please check your duckling regularly as not all domestic ovens cook evenly so you may have to rotate the duckling during cooking.
  3. Once the duckling is ready, remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes.
  4. To ensure the duckling is cooked gently cut into the thigh area to make sure all juices run clear, or test with a temperature probe. The duck should reach 73ºC for 15 seconds.

Roast duck can be served with any selection of fine vegetables and potatoes and is suitable to eat on any occasion.

Chef's Tips
Use the fat that comes from the duck to make deliciously flavoursome roast potatoes.

Sauce Suggestion
Add some honey, orange juice or port to your gravy for a more intense and interesting flavour.
