Ingredients:

- 1 whole duck (about 4-5 pounds)

- Salt and pepper

- 1 orange

- 1/4 cup honey

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

- Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Remove the giblets from the duck and pat it dry with paper towels. Prick the skin of the duck all over with a fork, being careful not to pierce the meat.

3. Season the duck generously with salt and pepper, inside and out.

4. Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice from one half. Rub the inside and outside of the duck with the orange juice.

5. Place the duck on a roasting rack in a roasting pan, breast side up.

6. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, and Chinese five spice powder. Heat over low heat until the honey is melted and the ingredients are well combined.

7. Brush the duck with some of the orange glaze.

8. Roast the duck in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, basting with the glaze every 20-30 minutes.

9. The duck is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

10. Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

11. Serve the roast duck with extra orange glaze on the side and garnish with chopped green onions.
