Hello friends! When you cook whole poultry, duck or goose, it often happens that the breast turns out to be a little dry, no matter how you water this carcass. But for the sake of a beautiful festive dish, you can do anything.

I examine the duck carcass from all sides and remove the remaining feathers.
After that, the carcass must be washed so that water does not get inside and dry well.
- I remove excess fat and excess skin from the side of the neck.
- I remove the extreme wing phalanges.
- I remove the zest from half of the orange and squeeze the juice out of this half.
- Squeeze the garlic here through a press, add black pepper and a teaspoon of salt.
- Mix everything well and rub the prepared duck with this mixture.
- I will take some salt and some extra grated duck on top.
The duck should lie in the marinade for at least 2 hours. I covered it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 190-200 ° C degrees.
FILLING
- I cut apples and oranges into pieces.
I take the duck out of the fridge. Wipe it with paper towels and remove the zest and garlic from the skin so that they do not burn when baked.
- The carcass should be pricked with a fork or knife in those places where there is fat.
- Then I stuff the duck with apples and oranges.
- The hole must either be sewn up or held together with toothpicks.
Cover a baking sheet with foil and transfer the duck there.
I send the duck to the oven for about an hour (190-200 ° C degrees).
After an hour, carefully transfer the carcass to a plate and drain the fat from the mold. I return the duck back.
Together with the duck, you can immediately prepare a side dish.
I cut the potatoes and put the apples here, which did not fit into the duck.
I add salt, pepper, pour some of the duck fat here and mix everything.
I spread the potatoes next to the duck.
I close everything carefully and return the mold to the oven for about an hour more.
I will dilute the honey with the remaining juice. Again I take out the duck and do not cover it with foil anymore. I grease its surface with a honey mixture and send it open in the oven.
Every 15 minutes, the duck must be taken out and greased on top. Now you can navigate the readiness of the potatoes.
The readiness of the duck is checked with a skewer; the juice should be clear.
