Roast Duck
|
Serves: 4 |
Prep Time: 35 Minutes |
Cook Time: 1 hour |
Ingredients
| 2 Joyce Farms Naked Ducks (5.0 - 5.5 lbs each), innards and wing tips removed |
| 6 qts chicken broth |
| 1 tbsp kosher salt |
| 1 tsp black pepper |
Instructions
|
1. Unwrap the ducks and allow them to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. With a fork, prick the skin without piercing the meat. This will allow the fat to drain off while the ducks cook. |
|
2. Meanwhile, in a very large stock pot which can hold the 2 ducks, heat the chicken broth with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt until it boils. Add the ducks very carefully and bring the stock back to a boil. If there isn't enough stock to cover the ducks, add the hottest tap water to cover. If the ducks float to the top, place a plate on top to keep them immersed. When the stock comes back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer the ducks in the stock for 45 minutes. |
| 3. When the ducks are finished simmering, skim off enough duck fat from the top of the stock to pour a film on the bottom of a 14 by 18 by 3-inch roasting pan. This will keep the ducks from sticking when they roast. Carefully take the ducks out of the stock, holding them over the pot to drain. Place them in the roasting pan, pat the skin dry with paper towels, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper. If you have time, allow the ducks to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the skin to dry. |
| 4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (Be sure your oven is very clean or it will smoke!) Roast the ducks for 30 minutes (before roasting, sprinkle with herbs to taste, if desired). Remove from the oven and allow them to rest, covered with aluminum foil, for 20 minutes. Serve warm. |
Rosemary-Garlic Roasted Heritage Chicken
|
Serves: 4 |
Prep Time: 10 minutes |
Cook Time: |
Ingredients
| 1 Joyce Farms Heritage Poulet Rouge® Chicken (3.5 - 4.0 lbs) |
| 4 large cloves garlic |
| 2 sprigs Rosemary |
| 2 tsp kosher salt |
| 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper |
| 1 tsp white wine |
| 2 oz. unsalted butter |
| 1 sage leaf |
Instructions
|
1. Soften butter to room temperature. |
|
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. |
| 3. Mince the garlic and place in a small mixing bowl. |
| 4. Mince sage leaf and one sprig of the rosemary. Add to the garlic. |
| 5. Add the softened butter and stir to combine. Season with the salt and black pepper. Add the white wine and incorporate thoroughly. (You can use a small food processor to make this step easier.) |
| 6. Remove the chicken from its packaging, and lightly rinse with cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel. |
| 7. Slide your fingers between the skin and the breast meat to create a pocket on both lobes of the breast. Stuff this space with as much of the Rosemary-Garlic butter as possible. Be careful not to tear the skin. |
| 8. Place the second Rosemary sprig in the cavity, and if there is still room, add any remaining Rosemary-Garlic Butter. |
| 9. Tuck the wing tips under the bird and tie the legs together using butchers’ twine to create a tight package (this is called Trussing the bird). |
| 10. Roast in the oven until minimum internal temperature reaches 165°F, measured in the thickest part of the thigh using a probe thermometer. |
| 11. Allow the bird to rest for 10 minutes before untying and carving. Serve with Natural Jus. |
