Unleash The Flavour: Mastering Spatchcock Roast Duck!

[@loungelizard3922]

I made this for my Mum for an early Christmas lunch and she loved it. No uncooked leathery fatty bits, it's worth overcooking the meat slightly. Such an easy recipe too, just a little bit of prep the night before. I cut the wings off and took them out early, I also added the bits of skin that got cut off and got over a cup of fat from one duck! This and pork shoulder are my favourite roasts, the carcasses make excellent stock as well.

Merry Christmas to you and your mum. That fat is so good for roasted potatoes.

Best duck video yet! 😋

[@Indo_chef]

Thanks! I rarely make duck. I’m due for making another one.

[@asdisskagen6487]

Thanks for this; I'm a huge fan of high-roast, spatchcocked chicken and was looking to do the same for duck & goose. Nice to see it turns out well. And the butternut squash was a nice bonus!

[@Indo_chef]

Thanks for watching! Try it with turkey too. It saves sooooo much time. I haven’t tried cooking a goose yet. Are they only in specialty shops? It’s something i only see in cooking videos.

[@asdisskagen6487]

@@Indo_chef Yep, I do this with turkey when I'm too lazy to fry it. Whole Foods typically carries duck year 'round and goose around the holidays. It's a dark meat, much like duck; if you like duck, you'll like goose.

[@Indo_chef]

@asdisskagen6487 i’m too scared of starting a fire to fry a turkey. I need to find a goose now 😃

[@Eray-fy5bz]

Definitely trying this for Christmas 😎🦆

[@Indo_chef]

Do a practice one first. Dishes always go wrong on a holiday first attempt 😃

[@Eray-fy5bz]

@Indo_chef thanks

[@bloodandwhisky]

Hello cracked me up. Thanks!

[@Indo_chef]

Thanks! I’ll be making more videos in the kitchen after christmas😃

BRO, where'd you get your chef's apron? I want one!

[@Indo_chef]

I got it on amazon. It’s awesome. It even has loops for tongs. I had to dig deep to find one that doesn’t hang off my neck. Those ones drive me crazy. I love the pockets because I can carry my audio recorders, hide my lav mic, and phone.

[@cdinaz]

Have a duck in the freezer and will make this for sure. Save the bones for broth.

[@Indo_chef]

I always intend to make broth, but then i get too tired 😝 Update to the roasting: go with 45 minutes and check temp. An hour can get dicey with it getting overdone.

[@cdinaz]

@@Indo_chef appreciated, thanks

[@loungelizard3922]

@@Indo_chef A really easy method is to use a pressure cooker, it only takes about 3 hours and the only ingredients are the carcasses, water and a little apple cider vinegar. You can freeze it and it's way better than store bought.

[@Indo_chef]

I normally use my instantpot. A lot of times i’m finished recording at and i’m just too tired 😝

[@pesiuber]

You cook it for an hour on 400, is the oven on fan or just over/under heat?

[@Indo_chef]

The convection fan was on. For juicier wings you can take off 10 minutes.

[@sheigah]

Fantastic, basically 1 ingredient and technique! Criminally low views!

[@Indo_chef]

Thanks. All my views are criminally low for my long videos.

[@amapola3053]

On to it!!

[@Indo_chef]

It’s officially Christmas season. Time to get fat!!! 😃

[@TChalla007]

No punctures on the skin?

[@Indo_chef]

No need to. The fat just runs out.

[@drumbum7999]

@@Indo_chef yes but the point is to have it render and flow out over the skin to make it crispier during roasting. yes it's not necessary but it's an easy step that elevates the texture of the dish

[@Indo_chef]

@drumbum7999 different pokes for different folks 😜

[@noahmc7804]

Have you ever made Peking duck?

[@Indo_chef]

Not yet. I’d have to test with a normal quality duck from superstore. This one was a specialty duck. Maybe I’ll do a series to create all the dishes for traditional peking duck.

[@MuddyHelmutant]

I EPSPECIALLY appreciate your no-(ok, very little) nonsense approach; now I need to watch your other content & see if this spatch-cock duck is just a fluke..,

[@Indo_chef]

My channel is 50% nonsense 😝 I spatchcock all of my turkeys and chickens too. It saves so much time in the oven.
