Ingredients
- Juice of 3 oranges
- 3 teaspoons Chinese five spice
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or to taste)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons runny honey
- 6 plums stoned and halved
- 4 duck legs roughly 250g / ¼lb each – I used Gressingham duck legs
- Mashed potato, noodles or rice to serve
- Stir-fried or steamed green veg to serve e.g. kale, broccoli, pak choi
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C/ 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F.
- Squeeze the juice of 3 oranges into a roasting tray, add the five spice, chilli flakes, soy sauce and honey, and stir together.
- Add the halved plums and turn them in the sauce
- Roast in your preheated oven for 15 minutes
- After 15 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and add the duck legs. Turn the duck legs in the sauce and then arrange them skin side up and put the tray back in the oven.
- Roast for a further 45 minutes until the duck is just cooked through and the plums are soft. Baste once or twice whilst the duck is cooking for maximum flavour.
- Serve the duck on a bed of mashed potato, rice or noodles and drizzle over a little of the sauce. Serve with green vegetables too, if you fancy.
