Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Perfectly Roasted Duck.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your duck dish.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) to create the perfect roasting environment.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, and black pepper to craft a flavorful spice blend.
Step 4
Generously rub this mixture over the duck's skin, ensuring every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Nestle the seasoned duck, breast side up, into a roasting pan and let it bask in the preheated oven for one hour.

After this initial roasting, gently drizzle 1/4 cup of melted butter over the duck, allowing it to soak in the richness, then continue roasting for an additional 45 minutes.
Step 7
As the grand finale, pour the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter over the duck and roast for about 15 more minutes, or until the skin transforms into a golden brown, crispy masterpiece.
