Using a similar method use for making Cantonese roast duck, we created our crispy mandarin peel duck using the Weber Q. We used dried mandarin orange peels in our dry rub and also used fresh mandarin oranges in our sauce, just to go along with the roast duck!
By blanching the skin with maltose and vinegar mixture, we help to firm up the skin before air drying it. This is key to help create crispy skin when roasting the duck in the Weber Q in indirect heat with the use of the roasting shield. The best part is that this only takes an hour!
The mandarin orange base sauce, which is made using plum sauce, is sweet and tangy and helps to cut the richness of the roast duck. A tasty recipe for a home brunch of a outdoor BBQ day!
So try out the recipe this weekend and share it with your family.
