  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to bake a juicy duck in foil? Prepare the products. I have a duck carcass weighing 2.5 kg. Wash the bird thoroughly and wipe it with paper towels. Take white onions, mustard - ordinary. You can tar the bird before use to get rid of feathers and hairs.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Prepare the marinade. To do this, mix honey, mustard, soy sauce in a deep bowl. Add pepper and salt to taste, as soy sauce itself is quite salty. Try the marinade during cooking, so as not to overdo it with the ingredients. Vary the degree of salinity and sweetness for yourself.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Put the prepared carcass in a bowl with marinade and rub it well inside and out. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 5 hours, let the duck marinate well.

    Wrap the duck well with foil. Put the mold in the preheated oven for 1-3 hours. Attention! Focus on your oven! Make sure that the meat is not burnt. Be sure to check it periodically. You can also unwrap the foil, especially if you are cooking for the first time. Different ovens bake the duck from one to three hours.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    It took me 3 hours. After 3 hours (you can have it for 1 hour!) take out the baking sheet and very carefully, so as not to get burned, cut the foil on top. Put the baking sheet in the oven for another 15 minutes so that the bird turns brown on top.

--------------------

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

If you are cooking this dish in foil for the first time, follow a few useful tips:
- divide the total cooking time by 4
- open the oven every quarter of the total time and check the degree of readiness of the dish
- don't be afraid to unwrap the foil for a more accurate check
- to make it more convenient to unfold the foil, always leave a "seam" on top of it
- if you wish, you can determine the degree of readiness without unfolding the foil by making one or two punctures in it with a toothpick
Remember that the quality of the foil also matters.
