  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the marinade. Pay special attention to the choice of soy sauce. There are many cheap options on the market now, but always pay attention to the soy sauce being naturally fermented. Honey is best used in liquid varieties, candied will not work. Vegetable oil can be any: olive, sesame or the most affordable sunflower. Fresh garlic in its absence can be replaced with garlic powder

    Step 2.

    Pour soy sauce into the marinade container, add honey. Mix well so that the honey dissolves completely. Please note that soy sauce is quite salty, so we will not use salt.

    Add chopped garlic. I pass it through the press. You can also chop it with a knife or grate it on a fine grater. At this stage, you can add your favorite spices, seasonings and herbs to the marinade. Fenugreek, thyme, rosemary, oregano will be very appropriate here. Depending on the additives, you will get a new taste of the finished dish every time.

    The duck marinade is ready before baking. I recommend using it right away. In addition, I want to add that this marinade is universal: it is suitable for chicken, turkey, duck, pig and even for meat.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Before marinating, wash the duck and dry it well. The pickling time with this marinade can vary from 6 hours to a day. And calculate the baking time from the fact that for every 500 g of duck it takes about 30 minutes of baking in the oven at 180 degrees.

The taste of the finished dish depends on the marinating process itself. Therefore, follow certain rules.
Dishes with pickled duck should be covered with a lid or at least with cling film, then put in the refrigerator.
But a couple of hours before the start of baking the bird, be sure to take it out so that our bird warms up.
Send the pickled duck to a preheated 180 degree oven.
