Cooking Your Whole Duck

Duck is incredibly versatile. For a classic roast, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the neck and giblets, rinse the duck under cool water, and pat dry. Roast uncovered, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan for approximately 30 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C) at the thigh joint. The legs should move freely and juices should run clear when done.
