Peking Duck

Peking Duck

Ingredients:

• Duck, I used dark meat - each pound serves one (2 pounds in recipe)
• Cucumber - 1
• Scallions - 1 bunch
• Hoisin Sauce - 1/2 cup
• Sugar - 1/3 cup
• Honey - 4 spoon fulls
• Soy Sauce - 2 spoon fulls
• Sesame Oil - 2 spoon fulls
• Chinese Pancake - for serving

Cook Time: 1 Hour    Prep time: 1 Hour (or less if you just want to eat! :) )

Start: 

1. Pour boiling water over Duck legs and thighs, discard water
2. Create glaze, boil 3 cups of water, honey, and soy sauce together and let cool. 
3. Coat Duck with watery glaze, paint over duck a couple times. I used a cooking brush and brushed the glaze over the duck 4-5 times within one hour until all glaze was used.
4. Cook Duck in oven on 375 degrees for 30 minutes with skin facing up, turn over and cook for another 15 minutes, then turn over again so skin is facing up and cook for another 15 minutes, or until skin is crispy. Let sit for a couple minutes before you serve.
5. Chop up Cucumber in thin strips
6. Chop Scallions
7. Make Sauce, boil then cool, Hoisin sauce, sugar and 1/4 water
8. Serve with Chinese pancakes or rice to keep it simple
