Before roasting, the duck needs preliminary preparation. Since the carcass must be thoroughly washed, dried and feathers plucked. You also need to remember to cut out a fatty tail from the tail, and some housewives generally cut off the tail. Since duck meat has a specific flavor, it is most often marinated. Wine, lemon juice, vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, kefir, spices and spices are used as marinades.
Duck is stuffed with various products, but apples are most often used. You should not stuff the bird tightly with apples, because there is a risk that the skin may stretch and burst when baking. If stuffed with sliced apples, then it is better to sew up the duck carcass with coarse threads. An easier alternative to stitching is to use toothpicks.
Stuffed duck is usually placed on a baking sheet with its back down and its legs up. This method allows the breasts to become soft and juicy. If the bird is baked without foil or sleeves, then it is recommended to water it with melted fat every half hour. Usually the process of roasting poultry is 1, 5-2 hours. Its readiness is easily determined - in the thickest place, the carcass is pierced with a knife. If the juice is released without blood, the duck is ready. Toothpicks or threads are removed from the bird before serving. It is usually served hot. The apples, which are stuffed with the bird, are laid out on a dish as a side dish. And the duck itself is effectively butchered in the presence of guests and a tidbit is given to everyone.
