Inebriated Duck

Directions

1. 1
   Thaw, rinse, and remove giblets from duck.
2. 2
   Put duck breast-side-down into as small and cramped a baking dish as possible to ensure complete immersion in its own fatty juices as it cooks.
3. 3
   Drizzle vodka and triple sec over the duck, slather on ginger garlic paste.
4. 4
   Open can of mandarin oranges and discard syrup, place orange slices on top of the paste, sprinkle salt on top of it all.
5. 5
   Cover with aluminum foil and place into non-pre-heated oven, put a dripping pan below as some drippings will overflow out if done correctly.
6. 6
   Bake at as low a temperature as possible (at least 175F) for an hour.
7. 7
   Increase to 300F and cook for an additional two hours.
8. 8
   Serve bird on a deep platter of appropriate length and width, drizzle orange sauce over the entire duck.
9. 9
   Serves two.
