Duck in soy sauce and honey
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To ensure the duck or its parts remain juicy and well-cooked when baking, remember that this bird requires a long baking time: 1 hour per 1 kg of duck. Since the meat is fatty, there's no need to add extra fat! You can enhance the marinade sauce with sweet paprika, coriander, ground thyme—according to taste. Serve hot.

Step 2
Place the duck pieces into a deep container, but not aluminum. Pour in the soy sauce, add salt and ground black pepper, and add honey. Thoroughly massage the meat to coat it with the sauce mixed with the added ingredients. Let it marinate for 1–1.5 hours at room temperature, stirring occasionally for better absorption.

Step 4
Bake the meat for about 1 hour at 200 degrees, stirring the contents of the container occasionally to keep it juicy and prevent it from becoming dry. By the way, halfway through cooking, you can drain some of the duck fat rendered from the meat into another container, add peeled, washed, and sliced potatoes, then place it in the oven. By the time the meat is done, you'll have a side dish ready to serve with it.
