Steps to Make Duck Al Orange Sauce Recipe

Duck Bites

The base for the orange duck sauce (step 3) can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.

Recipe Summary Duck Bites

This is a great appetizer using wild duck breast. It reminds me of an appetizer I've had at formal gatherings that uses chicken livers.

Ingredients | Duck Al Orange Sauce Recipe

½ cup dry sherry

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon peanut oil

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

2 skinned, boned duck breast halves

16 whole water chestnuts, drained

8 slices bacon, cut in half

Directions

Whisk the sherry, soy sauce, peanut oil, and ginger together in a mixing bowl until evenly blended. Cut the duck breast into 16 pieces and place into the marinade along with the water chestnuts; toss to coat. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Drain the marinade from the duck meat and discard. Place a duck piece onto a water chestnut, and wrap with half a bacon slice. Secure with a toothpick, and place onto a broiler pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Broil until the bacon is just crisp, about 10 minutes, turning once.
