Yield: 6 Servings

25 150 175

Ingredients

1 domestic duck (5 to 6 pounds)
1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons ground cloves
4 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Directions

Prick skin of duck well with a fork. Combine the five-spice powder, garlic, salt, sugar, ginger, pepper and cloves; rub over the outside and inside of duck. Combine the green onions, gingerroot, garlic cloves and hoisin; place inside the cavity.
Combine the honey, soy sauce and vinegar. Bake at 350° for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with honey mixture. Cover loosely with foil if duck browns too quickly. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Yield: 6 servings.
