Honey Glazed Duck à l'Orange
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 duck breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated orange zest. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin side down and cook for 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the duck is resting, add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the honey glaze and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Slice the duck breasts and drizzle with the honey glaze. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes. Enjoy your Honey Glazed Duck à l'Orange!
