Peking Duck [0000783]

Ingredients:

1 whole duck (about 4-5 pounds)
1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons gluten-free hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices of fresh ginger

Instructions:

Rinse the duck inside and out under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels, inside and out.

In a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, gluten-free hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, Chinese five-spice powder, salt, and black pepper.

Brush the duck inside and out with the sauce mixture, ensuring it's well coated. Place the ginger slices inside the duck cavity.

Hang the duck in a cool, dry place or in front of a fan for about 4-6 hours, allowing it to air-dry. This helps to achieve crispy skin.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the duck on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Pour about 1/2 inch of water into the pan to catch drippings.

Roast the duck in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, turning it every 30 minutes and basting it with the sauce. Adjust the cooking time as needed until the skin is golden and crispy.

Once the duck is cooked and the skin is crispy, remove it from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before carving.

Slice the Peking duck into thin pieces and serve with gluten-free hoisin sauce, sliced scallions, and gluten-free pancakes or lettuce wraps. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free Peking duck!

This recipe provides a delicious gluten-free version of the classic Peking duck dish, with flavorful, crispy skin and tender meat.
