Roast wild duck in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Wild duck meat may seem tough or have an unpleasant odor to some. But if you caught it yourself and know the bird is fresh and not old, there's nothing to worry about. When cooking wild duck in the oven, calculate the time: one hour per kilogram. Therefore, a small 2-kilogram duck needs to be baked for at least 2 hours. Serve hot.

Step 5
Let the duck marinate for at least 20 minutes (but the longer, the better). Preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Place the duck, as well as potatoes and tomatoes, on a rack. Put the rack with the duck onto a baking sheet, and place it in the oven with the baking sheet positioned beneath the duck to prevent the bird from sitting in its own fat.
