Good job Jeannie, adding this duck to your Thanksgiving meal is a huge level up!

Included this as part of my Thanksgiving celebration & it was a shot-score! Everyone raved about how flavorful & tender the duck was. The leftovers were turned into duck noodle soup. Another shot-score!

Hi Emily, we picked Pekin duck because it is more meaty and has a milder, less gamey flavor. I’m not sure if a mallard duck would work.

We live in Montana and our local butchers do not carry Pekin ducks…do we need to order online, or do you think a local Mallard will suffice?

Good job Joe, I love that you’re making your own Cantonese duck out in Wyoming. Enjoy!

Got Cantonese Roast Duck #2 ready to go into the oven. Can’t wait.
Used my air compressor again and with 50+ psi it really inflates easily.
Thanks again from NW Wyoming.
Joe

Excellent Joe, will wait to hear back from you how it goes the next time :)

Next try will be soon. After re-reading all the good comments below I think I will try to build a short hanger contraption for my regular oven and maybe let is dry another day on all sides before roasting, and of course improve my inflation technique. Great fun.

Hi Joe, great to hear you are making Cantonese roast duck in Wyoming! We shared this recipe for good people like you who love roast duck but don’t live anywhere near a Chinatown that serves them. Enjoy and happy cooking!

Bill, It’s Joe in the little cabin in Wyoming. And yesterday and tonight were Duck Day! Made this recipe and it was as awesome as I had hoped for! Thank you.
Used a proper air compressor set at about 40 psi. The duck politely inflated!

So tasty and complex but almost simple, too. Thanks a million for sharing this with all of us!

We’ll be making this again!
