+### PREPARATION
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
|
|
|
+- If necessary, cut off wing tips with poultry shears or a sharp knife.
|
|
|
+- Remove and discard excess fat from body cavity and neck, then rinse duck inside and out.
|
|
|
+- Prick skin all over with a sharp fork. Fold neck skin under body, then put duck, breast side up, on a rack in a 13- by 9- by 3-inch roasting pan and pour boiling-hot water over duck (to tighten skin). Cool duck, then pour out any water from cavity into pan.
|
|
|
+- Pat duck dry inside and out, reserving water in pan, then rub duck inside and out with kosher salt and pepper. Place in fridge
|
|
|
+- Stuff in lemon and any aromatics
|
|
|
+- Roast duck, breast side up, 45 minutes, then remove from oven.
|
|
|
+- Turn duck over using 2 wooden spoons, and roast 45 minutes more.
|
|
|
+- Turn duck over again (breast side up), tilting duck to drain any liquid from cavity into pan.
|
|
|
+- Continue to roast duck until skin is brown and crisp, about 45 minutes more (total roasting time: about 2 1/4 hours).
|
|
|
+- Tilt duck to drain any more liquid from cavity into pan.
|
|
|
+- Transfer duck to a cutting board and let stand 15 minutes before carving
|
|
|
