Before you start, a few tips:
- Choose a duck that is not very large, between 1.8 and 2.2 kg, this will allow it to bake faster and better.
- For stuffing apples, choose strong varieties so that they do not crumble into mush when baked.
- It is preferable to choose sweet, sour and sour apples; they will harmonize better with the meat.
- Be sure to remove excess fat before starting cooking: this is the tail (tail) - it can be cut out completely, or partially - only the sebaceous glands.
- Remove the esophagus from the neck, if present, as well as the upper part of the wings, where there is the least amount of meat (they tend to burn).
- Also, before starting cooking, the carcass must be washed thoroughly and all remaining hairs and feathers removed using roasting or tweezers.
- If some parts of the duck are fried too much when the carcass itself is not yet baked, wrap them in foil with the shiny side outward, this will prevent them from burning.
These are some simple but useful tips, armed with which we start cooking.
Duck with apples in the oven - the most delicious recipe
Wonderful, very successful and very tasty recipe.
If you've never tried roast duck before, be sure to give it a try.
This is the recipe that all guests beg for at the end of the feast!
Ingredients
- Duck – 2 kg
- Apples (sour) - 4-5 pcs.
For the marinade:
- Orange juice – 115 g
- Soy sauce - 100 g
- Ginger – 30 g
- Honey - 2 tbsp. l.
- Orange zest - 1 tbsp. l.
- Dried garlic - 2 tsp.
- Black pepper - ½ tsp.
- Honey - 1 tbsp.
- Cinnamon - ¼ tsp.
Orange sauce:
- Juice and fat from duck - 10-12 tbsp.
- Orange juice – 170 g
- Orange pulp - 1 pc.
- Starch - 1-2 tsp.
- Honey - 1-2 tbsp.
- Lemon juice - 1 tbsp.
- Water – 50 ml
- Cinnamon - a pinch
Preparation
Let's prepare the bird for cooking. You need to rinse it well, remove all excess remaining hairs and feathers.
We do this with a torch or tweezers, very carefully, trying not to damage the skin.
You can also remove the neck, if you don't like it, and the ends of the wings.
Please note that the sebaceous glands must be removed from the bird's tail.
We remove them because during cooking they can give the dish a very unpleasant odor and thus completely ruin it.
The glands are cut out from the back. Also, the tail can be removed entirely along with the glands; this option is also not bad.
Let's prepare the marinade for our carcass. To do this, take soy sauce, orange juice, a little honey, grated ginger and orange zest.
We grate the zest, trying not to grab the white pulp, because it is bitter, and we don’t need that.
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in one container. Mix well to dissolve the honey.
Let's pour the marinade over our bird. Pour some inside. Next, use your hands to evenly rub the bird with the liquid on all sides.
When you have done this, cover it with film and place it in the refrigerator for further soaking for 24 hours.
Periodically, it will need to be turned from back to belly so that our marinade saturates the meat well on all sides.
This is the secret of magical softness and perfect taste.
So, the duck stood in the refrigerator and was well fed. You can begin further cooking.
Let's prepare the filling. To do this, take sour apples, wash them, without peeling the skin, cut them into slices, removing the seeds.
Add a little honey and a pinch of cinnamon to them. The aroma will be incredible, very festive.
We wipe the duck itself from pieces of ginger and orange, place it on a baking sheet lined with foil, on a pillow of apple circles.
Thanks to them, it will not stick to the foil during cooking and will give a very tasty juice, which we will use for basting and for the special orange sauce that makes this dish simply royal.
Rub the duck on all sides with a mixture of black pepper and dried garlic (better if it is garlic powder).
Fill the duck with the cinnamon apples and honey and use a wooden skewer to seal the edges so the stuffing doesn't fall out.
Alternatively, you can fasten the edges with toothpicks or sew them up.
You don’t have to cover it, but then add a little less filling.
Cover the bird with foil and place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Approximate cooking time is 2 hours.
But everything will depend on the size of your duck and your oven, the time may vary.
We'll get it out in an hour and a half. Let's pour the juice that comes out of it.
We also take part of the juice (10-12 tablespoons) along with the fat to prepare orange sauce.
Cover it again with foil and put it in the oven for another half hour.
During this time we will prepare an amazing orange sauce.
Of course, if you don’t have much time or don’t want to bother, you can do without it, the duck will still turn out great.
But once you cook it, you definitely won’t regret it. It complements the dish and gives it an exquisite taste.
So, let's prepare all the components. Peel the orange slices completely from the films and cut into pieces.
Mix everything: duck juice, orange juice, honey, lemon juice, water and cinnamon (except starch and orange pieces) in one saucepan and put on fire. Let it boil.
At this time, mix the starch with water and carefully pour into the saucepan. Stir.
Starch gives the sauce thickness, so if you find it too thin, you can add starch at your discretion, first diluting it with water to get the desired consistency.
Bring to a boil again and add orange slices to the sauce. The sauce is ready!
The taste should be rich, sweet and sour. The sourness and sweetness can be adjusted to your taste by adding a little more lemon juice or honey.
And our duck is almost ready, it baked for 2 hours, all that remains is to brown it.
Remove the foil that was on top. And pour the juice over the bird.
At this stage, it may turn out that the carcass itself is not yet browned, but the legs and wings are already completely dark.
To prevent them from burning while it's browning, wrap them in foil.
Return the dish to the oven for about 20 minutes until it's nice and crispy.
We check readiness like this: pierce thick places with a toothpick. Only clear juice should come out, never blood.
Cover the duck with foil and let it stand in the air for about 15 minutes, it will cool a little and be completely cooked.
It can be served whole, decorated with apples, oranges and herbs.
Or you can divide it into portions, thin pieces and serve on plates. Be sure to top them with this wonderful sauce.
It looks incredible and tastes amazing! The aroma is such that your guests will feel dizzy!

- Duck carcass;
- Green apples - 2 pcs;
- Lemons - 2 pcs;
- Soy sauce - 6 tbsp. l;
- Grated ginger root - 2 tbsp;
- Salt pepper;
- Balsamic vinegar - 2 tsp;
- Honey - 2 tbsp;
- Olive oil - 2 tbsp;
Delicious marinade for duck
First, you will need to prepare the marinade: squeeze the lemons, add two tablespoons of honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, ginger and soy sauce. If your duck is too large, increase the proportions to make enough marinade. Anticipating your questions about whether it is possible to replace balsamic vinegar with something else: wine, apple, table vinegar, I will answer that no. This marinade involves the use of the king of all vinegars - balsamic (read the article -). In general, this thing in the kitchen is very useful, especially if you want to master French and Italian cuisine.
This marinade is incredibly flavorful, and the longer you soak the duck in it, the sweeter and tastier it will be.
Preparing the duck
The duck should be washed and dried with a paper towel. Now you should rub it thoroughly with salt and pepper. I use freshly ground pepper - it's very flavorful.
Place the duck in a deep bowl and fill it with our delicious marinade. Place the duck in the refrigerator overnight or overnight.
The next day, take the duck out of the refrigerator. Take the apples, cut them in half and remove the core. Then cut the apples into slices.
Stuff the duck tightly with our apples.
Then we put it in a paper sleeve, tie it and put it in the oven to bake for an hour and a half at 180 degrees.
I don’t make any holes in the sleeve; it swells a lot during cooking, but that’s okay. Thanks to the sleeve, the juice from the duck does not spread on the baking sheet, and the duck oozes into it for the entire hour and a half.
15 minutes before the end of cooking, cut the sleeve and allow the duck to brown.
Duck baked in a sleeve with apples is ready. Now you can delight yourself and your loved ones with a delicious dinner!

- 2 Delicious duck with apples in the sleeve
- 3 Duck with apples and prunes in the sleeve
In many families, duck with apples is a traditional dish that is prepared on special occasions. Indeed, duck meat is considered a delicacy, which means duck dishes will be an ideal holiday menu option. Most housewives use a roasting sleeve to cook poultry. This not only simplifies the cooking process, but also makes the meat tender, soft and juicy. And now we will look at such a delicious topic as duck with apples in a baking sleeve.
The key to a delicious dinner is the right duck. At the market they will definitely try to sell you an older bird, but if you know how to distinguish young game from old, they will not be able to deceive you. So, a young duck can be identified by its breast. As you know, the bones of a young bird are soft and when you press on the chest, it can be slightly bent.
If you are not allowed to touch the product with your hands, then pay attention to the claws; if they are even, parallel to each other, then this is a young duck, since the old duck’s claws are hard and point in different directions. The age of the bird will be indicated by its wrinkles, namely the folds above the beak - the more of them, the older the duck.
If you decide to buy a bird in a supermarket, then the signs of a high-quality bird are: no sour smell, light fat, whole skin without any darkening. It is also better to choose a medium-sized duck.
Duck with apples and rice
The best dish for your own family and guests will be duck with apples and rice. In addition, it is so convenient that with one prepared duck we will get two side dishes: baked apples and rice. The finished duck carcass turns out very juicy and tender in taste.

- 1 duck carcass,
- 2 carrots,
- 2 green apples,
- 3 cloves of garlic,
- 1 onion,
- sunflower oil,

Recipe:
Peel the carrots and chop them using a grater. The grated carrots must be divided into two parts, one part mixed with pre-chopped garlic, ground pepper, salt and finely chopped rosemary.
Take the duck carcass, gut it with a sharp knife and rinse under running water. Rub the duck on all sides with the prepared mixture of carrots and spices and leave the carcass like this for about one hour.
Peel the onion, cut into thin half rings and fry in hot oil in a frying pan. Then add all the remaining grated carrots to the onion and continue to fry until golden brown.
Pour two glasses of water into a saucepan, add the washed rice and boil it until tender for about ten minutes. Place the finished rice in a sieve or colander to drain all the liquid. Mix boiled rice with fried carrots and onions.
Wash the green apples, peel and core them, cut into medium cubes. Now you need to take a rested duck and stuff it halfway with the prepared mixture of rice, onions and carrots. Stuff the second half with chopped apples. Sew up the hole in the abdomen with thread and place it on the prepared form. Pour half a glass of water onto a baking sheet and carefully place in a hot oven for two hours. Periodically baste the carcass with the resulting juice, after the bird is browned, cover it with foil on top so that the breast does not burn. Try not to overcook the duck in the oven, otherwise the meat will turn out a little dry.
Delicious duck with apples in the sleeve

Ingredients you will need: 1 medium-sized duck, 4-5 apples, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp. tablespoons of soy sauce and olive oil, 3 tablespoons of honey and the juice of 1 lemon.
We start cooking by taking the duck, washing it well and pouring boiling water over it. This will lead to the fact that the pores on the skin, after pouring, will close and the skin will not burst during baking, but will remain intact. Next, dry the duck with a paper towel, rub thoroughly with salt and pepper, stuff it with apple slices and marinate. For the marinade, mix soy sauce, honey, olive oil and lemon juice. It is better to marinate the duck overnight, especially if you have poultry.
