Asian Glazed Duck

Asian Glazed Duck

Ingredients:
1 (5 pound) duck, rinsed and patted dry
2 lemons, halved
Salt and ground pepper to taste

Glaze:
3/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup liquid honey
1/4 cup corn oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon rosemary
2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub the duck inside and out with the juice of 1 lemon. Pat dry. Prick the skin with a fork and sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the second lemon in the cavity.
2. Place the duck breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake 30 minutes.
3. While the duck is roasting, make the glaze: combine the soy sauce, ketchup, honey, oil, garlic and rosemary in a small bowl. Mix well.
4. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Pour off the fat. Pour the glaze over the duck. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting frequently.
5. Remove the duck from the oven and let stand 15 minutes. Skim the fat from the pan. Reheat the glaze, pour over the duck and garnish with green onions.
