This recipe is easy, even though you're committing to cook a full duck. You don't have to be intimidated.
Place the duck in the fridge for at least an hour but preferably overnight once you have marinated the duck.
You won’t need to make the plum sauce until your duck is actually in the oven. It won’t be brushed onto the duck until about a half an hour before the duck is done roasting!
Calculate the cooking time for your duck. The cooking time of a full duck is about 18 minutes per pound. If your duck is 5 pounds, it needs about 90 min of cooking time.
A lot of people love to eat their peking duck with Chinese pancakes, often with cucumbers, cantelope, scallions, and hoisin sauce.
