Recipe View 2 hrs 30 mins Roast the duck in the preheated oven, brushing it every 20 to 30 minutes with the orange sauce.

Recipe View 15 mins Let the duck rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice pilaf, or mashed potatoes. (15 minutes)

For an even more intense flavor, consider marinating the duck in the orange glaze overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat.
If you prefer a crispier skin, you can increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Feel free to experiment with other additions to the mushroom stuffing, such as chopped onions, celery, or herbs.
Make sure the duck is fully thawed before cooking for even cooking
Monitor the internal temperature of the duck carefully to avoid overcooking. Overcooked duck can be dry and tough.
