Hoisin Duck is dry-brined, spatchcocked, and roasted on a rack for crisp skin and tender meat. The sweet-savory Hoisin glaze caramelizes in the oven for a glossy finish. It’s the perfect choice when you want an elegant, flavorful alternative to turkey or chicken, and pairs beautifully with rice or vegetables. Always roast duck on a rack so the fat can render away.

If you have not had it, I encourage you to find it and have it. In the meantime, please make this and wow your family and friends. Once you have had this style of ham, you won’t go back. Roasting it in a Nesco electric roaster makes it even easier without drying out.
