Duck in a bag with apples
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Remember that duck is roasted according to its weight—1 hour per 1 kg in a preheated oven on the middle rack. If the oven is not preheated, add another 15–20 minutes to the cooking time. Be sure to coat the bird with marinade or sauce and let it sit at room temperature for 2–3 hours; the meat will absorb all the flavors and aromas of the sauce and spices. Serve hot.

Place the duck in a roasting bag, add apple slices, and tie the bag tightly on both ends to prevent air from escaping. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Put the duck on a baking tray on the middle rack, reduce the temperature to 180°C, and roast the bird for 1.5 hours.
