The recent duck talk made me snag a whole one when I saw it at Costco. Anyone have a good whole duck recipe? I normally just pierce the skin a bit, salt it overnight, rub down in garlic, season under the skin and in the cavit, roast on an elevated rack to the halfway point, take out some of the rendered fat to toss on fingerling potatoes than finish them together. It's pretty good but feel it could be better but not really sure with the search results so far i.e. not sure about boiling it before roasting as most seem to suggest.

You might try spatchcocking, I've never done it with duck (legs are so cheap I usually just buy them) but I've had great results with every other bird I've done it with. It will cook much faster and you can put the vegetables right under it to catch all the fat, so it is probably simpler to cook as well.

I coulda swore I saw a jamie oliver vid on spatchcock'd duck right on the oven grill (with pan of veg below to catch the drippings) but all I'm seeing for him and duck is this:



Still look up roast chick and roast duck recipes, note the time and temp dif, then apply the dif to a spatchcock'd chick recipe; you should be golden.

i guess this is the same type you use for buffets, update international only had aluminum roaster pans and i want the option to deglaze, so that requires stainless steel

You can deglaze in non stick if you use the right tool. I have a great roasting pan that has a rack - that's important if you're going to cook any kind of bird in it.

Edit: now that I think about it, I used to have a non-stick one. Now I have this one:

Amazon product ASIN B003YLJZ6M

Also, if you're shooting for crispy bits, spatchcock the bird, skip the veg, preheat pan AND a foil covered brick/concrete paver in the oven. then carefully take pan out, add bird, crush with paver, replace in oven. Very fast cook, contact cooking on both sides for maximum crispy bits.

you can just use another cast iron pan and put it on top of the bird and put the heavy bricks on there, instead of individually wrapping each brick... too much work.

Welp

I recommend

Only thing I wouldn't bother doing is fire roasting with the cheese inside. It's really not needed since you chop them all up and heat them in a pan anyways. Just fire the peppers on their own.

I served them with BBQ chicken thighs that were marinating in lime, cilantro, onion, garlic, and tequila.
