Siam Honey Duck Recipe

Cooking Instructions for Siam Honey Duck

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

2. 2

   Marinate the Duck

   Place the duck breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the duck, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. 4

   Sear the Duck

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the duck from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and place the duck breasts skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and sear the other side for an additional 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Bake the Duck

   Transfer the seared duck breasts to a baking dish, skin-side up. Brush the reserved marinade over the duck. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. 6

   Rest and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro.
