This unusual way to flavor duck works from the inside rather than the outside. The cavity of the duck is filled with a pungent and delicious marinade. The method is ingenious, because not only does the marinade make a tasty duck, it also keeps the duck meat moist. The skin gets very crisp while the meat cooks through, but it never becomes dry. The duck’s own juices combine with the marinade, creating a unique duck sauce. The recipe for the traditional Cantonese Roast Duck marinade follows, but you can also innovate with your own creations—for example, lemon and orange juice with spices. Cantonese Roast Duck marinade can also be used in Salt-Roasted Chicken with Marinade.
