Roast Duck Ala Babychops

Total Time: 5 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 duck
• 2 teaspoons thyme
• 2 teaspoons sage
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup butter

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 210.
• 2 soften butter then blend in spices and return to fridge until firm. you can go the lazy route & substitute 2 tbsp mccormick's french roasting rub for the spices if you like - an equally enticing blend.
• 3 remove & set aside orange sauce packet (comes in duck cavity), you'll use this later.
• 4 pat duck dry & place breast up in roasting pan.
• 5 slather duck with butter mixture & pop in the oven. roast until juices from thigh joint run clear. this will take a while. baste with juices from bottom of pan when you think about it. the aroma will fill your home & drive everyone crazy ~ it's the longest 4 or 5 hours you'll ever endure as this smells so good --
• 6 the cool thing about the butter paste is that it will not melt off your duck as regular pats of butter would.
• 7 if you'd like a little extra flavor heat the orange sauce packet in some boiling water & use as a dipping sauce.
• 8 if there's any duck left (i seriously doubt this) you can add to a nice salad next day for lunch.
