Description
In this case, we prepared the breasts and thighs, but this method can be used for any parts or even a whole duck. The main thing is to carefully monitor that the meat does not dry out. You can control this by basting the duck or covering it. If you are cooking a whole duck, you should increase the number of apples and oranges and stuff them into the carcass. You can also add melted butter to the sauce. If you don't have rosemary, you can use thyme or skip the herbs altogether. This dish pairs excellently with lingonberry sauce or pickled lingonberries. Enjoy your meal.
