This Chinese inspired roast duck is unlike traditional Chinese roast duck because it is tender, juicy, and flavorful but without the crispy skin. Read all of the instructions before you start making this recipe.

Notes

1) Roast your duck at 375°F for 22 minutes per pound. Write down the weight of your duck before you throw away your wrapper because you'll need it to calculate the length of time it takes to roast your duck by multiplying the number of pound by 22.2) Then divide the total number of minutes by two to calculate the halfway point and when you will flip your duck over. Round to the nearest 5 minutes but be sure that the times add up to the total roasting time.3) For example, if my duck is 5.7 pounds, then the total amount of time it takes to roast the duck is 125 minutes. I can flip the duck after 1 hour and then continue roasting for an additional 1 hour and 5 minutes.
