5 Spices Roasted Duck

Last week I was gifted a selection of sauces from cookit.sg that are suitable for keto and plant based diets. These sauces use clean ingredients with no nasties and I was super excited to try.

I put the poll out to you guys, as to what I should make, most of you opted for crispy duck pancakes with the hoisin sauce. So glad that you did, because they tasted so bloody good. But I did have a bit of drama before dinner was prepared.

Once I opened up my bird, out popped the whole thing, head and feet still attached! I know I live in Asia now, but I still can’t deal with head. Quietly, I called my husband over, so as not to alert the kids, as that would have been a whole different kind of drama.

Have you ever had to deal with a bird, head attached? Would you freak out?

Once the head and feet were removed, I was able to prepare the bird for our feast.

Make sure the skin is completely dry, then score it. Rub it generously with plenty of salt, then with Chinese 5 spice. Make sure the skin is completely seasoned with the spice mixture. 

I baked the duck in my oven, at 200c for 30 minutes. I placed it on a wire rack with a tray underneath, to collect all the fat. Then after 30 minutes I brushed the skin with pyure organic maple syrup and placed it back in the oven at 160c for about 50 mins.

I used Coconut wraps in place of the pancakes, sliced cucumber & spring onions with keto friendly hoisin sauce. My eldest son must have eaten at least 5 and his favourite part, the sauce!
